Old-fashioned, and all the better for it. December 10, 2007 Sable Unadorned 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a guide to manners, behaviour, wardrobe and a general 'how-to' guide on what makes a gentleman a gentleman. It's superb. The rules involved may not have dated much from the late eighteenth century, but are none the worse for that. Even today, only the most militant feminist will object to having car doors opened for her, or seeing men stand when she leaves the table, so maybe the human race hasn't changed that much in the past hundred or so years. The sad fact is, however, that the vast majority of the male occupants of the planet won't read this and won't understand why they should. However, therein lies the golden opportunity for those of us who do understand to steal a march on our less-developed rivals. Also, a note to those who've arrived here by mistake while looking for pick-up manuals: try using this book as a guide to leaving the frat-boy tactics behind and being a little grown-up. The results may pleasantly surprise you.
