Image

I have a better-quality version of the image attached to the article, if anyone would like it. It appears on p. 77 of "How To Mix Drinks", but I'm not at all sure it depicts Thomas himself or if it's just an illustration of the Blue Blazer.64.131.230.21 (talk)

There's also a better scan at the Google Books page. Someone should add it. Rees11 (talk) 00:14, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
