Used Book in Good Condition
I think these were from a small grower because they sent more than she ordered "because they didn't look really good" - according to the note that was packed with them.
She started out using [this book](
http://www.amazon.com/Cordials-Your-Kitchen-Elegant-Liqueurs/dp/0882669869) and made some good stuff, but she's gotten to where either she works from the copious notes she's made in the margins or off-the-cuff.
My sister says my SO has ruined her on Patron XO, because hers is so much better. (I don't like coffee, so the awesomeness that is her XO is lost on me).
I'd go the other way with this as it's closer to a honey liquer than mead. A honey liqueur is esentially taking a flavorless spirit and adding honey. Starting with everclear/strong vodka add honey and other spices, paying attention to hitting your targeted alcohol %. It's easier than mead(no fermentation), but you should still let it age for the flavors to meld, I've been told. Recipes should be easy to find. I have this book, which I did find at my local library at one point.

eat it up, i've made a dozen of them. Lime, orange and blueberry turned out great as did my 151 banana liquer.
