 A waste but not much else out there November 1, 2008
Stonewall (Kent Wa. USA.)
I Gave this two stars because it doesn't really mean how to be a gentleman it means how to be a fancy playboy with good manners. I'm not denying that there are good lesions to lean here but he tells you be careful not to slam a door in some one's face how about holding the door open for people or how you should hold the umberrlla for certain people it just tells you what kind of dishes and towels to own now to me that has nothing to do with being a Gentleman but maybe that's just me. Too me it's more about having good manners (Common Courtesy) bringing happy day to some people it does not what you look like or how your dressed on a daily basses just that in certain instances you should dress up dinners weddings obvious stuff. But like I said just must be me.

The perfect present for a male family member November 1, 2008
Kathryn Kirkpatrick (Pittsburgh, PA)
This is a great present for a brother, nephew, uncle, etc. I bought one for each of my four older brothers (ages 24, 25, 34, 39). This book was special to each of them in different ways. Of course, I added a note in the front cover - something along the lines of "Name, you are already a gentleman, but in case you find yourself in a situation that you need some guidance, this will help."
An excellent guide December 16, 2007

At first I was afraid this book would be full of platitudes and one-liners on how to be a gentleman but as I read it I began to understand how the book all comes together. I very much enjoyed the reasoning behind some of the "do's and don'ts" listed in the book and while much of the book just seems to be common courtesy, how common ARE some of the courtesies any more? br / br /An excellent book and one I would recommend to just about any gentleman or potential gentleman.
