I can't recommend this book enough. Full of great tips and useful information. For the suave and the "fashion challenged" who need help. The price is very reasonable for the amount of content in this little gem. I own this book, and i learned valuable things from it Great book, but focused on Obsolete Mens Styles. Like how to properly shave, why cedar shoe stretchers are needed to keep your shoes in good shape, an overview of the different types of cuff styles, paints styles, collar styles etc2009-02-02 Rating 2. It even tells you what your wardobe should consist of to cover all situations. That part of the book is awesome! But, i am giving it a poor rating because the author uses celebrity figures from the 1950's to early 1980's to define the style. And most of those styles are not the Armani suits you see business executives wear today! Let me clarify. He shows Ronald Reagan in his younger acting days, wearing Jeans. He shows Pee-Wee Herman wearing the classing bowtie suit. He shows George Burns, Carey Grant, and countless others and explains their styles in detail. But, those styles are long outdated. Sure, I find Carey Grant or Dean Martin one of the best dressed in the older era. And their styles can still be used today. But, most of the others are so wrong today! Today, Men admire the likes of Daniel Craig from Casino Royale, with his J Crew Windsow Tuxedo Shirt, Polo Ralph Lauren Bowtie, and Armani Collezioni two-piece tuxedo. Even the hair styles and facial hair in this book are long outdated. People today wear short hair cuts. this book is a must have a must have for any man. period2009-01-29 Rating 5. from shoes to shirts to ties to socks and more, the handbook of style covers it all. . As a young man, I was given a random style guide that detailed the ins and outs of how to dress and look like a stylish man by my grandfather A Must Have For Any "Man Of Style"!!!.

This book is both entertaining with various quips and facts from the political and social worlds as well as informational with all kinds of tricks ranging from how to tie a tie and what to shine your shoes with.
