People kept telling me how much they liked Sissy's Southern Belle's Handbook and some were even making a list of the rules. They must have been telling HarperCollins the same thing, because they decided to bring out this special little gift book of just fun rules. I found people giving it away at bridal showers and as hostess gifts at luncheons, but my favorite was when a friend of mine who has an apartment in Paris and many European friends asked me to autograph about 20 copies because her Euro...more
I absolutely loved Sissy LeBlanc, so this has been on my radar for a while. I was a bit startled to pick the book up from my local library (I requested it from a different city since mine didn't have it) and find it just about fits in my palm of my hand. I was expecting more substance and was hankering for some more Sissy, but it's still a fun book to pick up.
I absolutely adore these rules! A must read for every girl!
A great gift for Southern Belle's and those who think they are!

You can't really even count this as a book. It's more of a novelty gift. I got my copy used and it had an inscription written to a womane named Beth and I couldn't help but wonder if the Northern didn't like her gift. I think Sissy is a hoot and having a whole copy of the handbook is fun to send along with the book to my friends in the book club. I hope ehty all read it this summer.
As they say, you can't judge a book by it's cover. You can't judge this book by it's title, either. I expected it to be funny, light-hearted, a good book to read in between two "heavy" books. I judged wrong. I felt like the story was surprising serious, dark and just dragged on way too long. I was disappointed.
