Written in the final years of bifurcating sexes and social decorum, "Call Me Mister" is an in-depth look at becoming a man- shortly before it was forgotten how.
It's practical lessons on the importance of self-betterment, personal dignity, being well-read and articulate, and the respect and treatment due to women have sadly dated much more than any clothing style.
Being in it's target audience (16-25), I can say that "Call Me Mister" contains lessons scarcely found today and serves as a testiment of our social regression since.

Did you ever have questions about
Removing an Unmasticable Object?
Derby or Bowler?
The Gloveless Man ?
The Problem of Coats: Removing a woman's at a restaurant?
How to Ask for a Date?
Proper Places to Meet Women?
Mustache Grooming?
Well, thank God and Barry James for Call Me Mister.
In the mid-1960's when good breeding, manners and serious hat and ascot wearing were taking their last gasp, this book came out.
It may not have saved any of those things from the ravages of hippies, the business-casual, or the Feminist movement, but it is still a testament to all that the refined man should aspire to.
Grooming, hats, ties, ascots, scarves, gloves, women, dates, marriage, eating, speaking, mustaches, stretching...it's all here and you will be tested with T and F quizzes to make sure you don't forget these invaluable and humorous tips.
This review is " Dedicated
To You, the Up-and-Coming Young Man,
and to the task of developing within
you the art and craft of Successful Living..."
