The Annual Manual is a book that bartenders can call their own. What's inside? The Mindful Bartender chapter in last year's Annual Manual caused a ripple that was felt throughout the global bartending community, and Regan followed it up with Mindful Bartender presentations in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Beirut, and Dubai. This year's edition highlights some of the bartenders who employ mindfulness at work, and have had some amazing results, along with a few more wisdom from gaz himself. The chapter titled Bartender Quotes of the Year highlights what thoughtful, caring, and sharing bartenders have said in print over the past 12 months that are sure to inspire the best in everyone who stands behind the stick. A new section titled Bartenders' Bartenders of the Year features this year's "best of the best" dedicated professionals as recommended by their peers and colleagues. Out of the 500+ suggestions received by gaz, the nine featured bartenders proved they truly are top shelf.

This year gaz also presents at some of the best Bar Bloggers of the year and highlights some fabulous bar geekery before he signs off for the year. Add to this the second part of his serialized autobiography, you have a veritable compendium of a book, put together with love and kisses by a bartender, for bartenders.
