The explanation of what the committee should focus on, how to focus on the selected part of the liturgy, and evaulate how the effect of the focus of the committee, is invaluable to accomplishing the the committee's goals.
The book also addresses what 'everyone' thought a Liturgy Committee was all about and how to overcome those preconceived ideas and communicate the real meaning to the commuity.
Anyone who wants to have a great impact on the liturgy of their parish should purchase this book for each member of the committee.

The bar books we have do indeed have a small collection of some fairly tasteless non alcoholic drinks, most without a type of glass, or worse, for like 7-10 people at a mixing (punch bowls, etc).
This book takes care of every single one of the problems listed above. This beautifully illustrated and well bound book, looks like a black version of the more popular Boston Drink Guide. Hardbound with a spiffy cover.
Inside is a wonderful section on the Essentials of running a bar, including equipment, displays of every type of glass (everything from highball to hurricane, even a pilsner glass is included).
Descriptions of basic ingredients, garnishes, a liquid measurement conversion chart, and more take up the beginning of this wonderful book.
There are three different classes of drinks to be made. From Mocktails, which as you'd assume are mostly highball and coctail glass drinks. Also Drinks for all seasons, which are a wide variety of drinks for winter spring summer and fall, and holiday sections for each season. Lastly something called Sweet Endings, which make up the more exotic drinks, everything from spiced coffee drinks to floats and shakes.
Each recipe has an image of the glass used next to it. The directions are clear and the drinks make liberal use of a wide variety of measurements; from ounces, to parts of cups, tablespoons, and so fourth; making drink making fun and quite exotic.
The book states that the royalties from the sale of this book go to support Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Which is very commendable. This wonderful book isn't full of those cutsie kiddie phrases for drink names, but contains things like Peach Sparkler, and Banana Hurricane.
It has the look and feel of a professional drink book, and makes liberal use of the various bar techniques, glasses, and equipment. So if your little one wants to be part of the action in a fun way, or if your teenager wants to throw a party and you'd like them to feel a bit more grown up, this is the book for you.
If I had one complaint it would be that the drinks are not indexed by ingredient, which admittedly would be a rather large undertaking with non alcoholic drinks, but you get used to that in regular bar books.
This is an incredible book, well worth the money, and the only book you'll need to cater to non-drinkers of any age without making them feel childish or different, which is worth its weight in gold.

A small book, but a very good look at Wright's glass designs, many of them as installed (in situ).
