Very well written book. Additionally is, it is immaculately organized with each chapter in broken into sections with bullet point summaries.

For me, a kid who grew up in the city. This would’ve been perfect for me to have when I was coming up.

I've read the whole thing but I feel like you need to skip to parts that don't feel important to you. for example when it talks about how to drink alcohol properly but I don't drink. those parts were not interesting for me but if you skip those parts the book is full of great knowledge. also it's easy to skip parts because there is about 2 subparagraphs per pages.. the book took me about 5hours to read so it's a book that looks short but because of the small text it's actually pretty full and long. Still easy to read and well divided

This brief book encapsulates old-world civil manners and frames them in a modern context. The book comes to you from a man's-man perspective without the bravado normally associated with it. The guidance is wise and never preachy. The author does well in providing a context in which the reader should insert himself. I believe most men operate well in that space.

The book isn't a soup-to-nuts guide on etiquette, thankfully so. The value here is in the brevity. Read it, apply it and become the gentleman you'd like to be. The gentleman that quickly comes to mind after reading this book is the suave sophistication of the character "James Bond". There's a rugged, classy fellow I think most men would enjoy emulating.

Was a good read. This book had a lot good advice, however it was very broad. Most the information in this book has been taught to me by my father or theartofmanliness.com. It was a little outdated also, written in 2007, it brought up pager etiquette yet it did address the change in gender roles in todays society.

A book every man should read, but not always take to heart, doesn't hurt to go wild every once in a while.
