"Well written, amusing, a great guide to being a Cad in today's age. For anyone who is a Cad, thinks they may be a Cad, wishes they were a Cad, thinks they might have been a Cad years ago and now would like to revisit the Cad lifestyle, then this must surely be the ultimate guide - a must own handbook!" - Calica
The Modern Cad Guide is a tongue-in-cheek lifestyle guide to being a scoundrel in the 21st Century.
Taking a swipe at subservient people-pleasers, permanent offence-takers and conniving weasels, the guide offers another path to being a man in the 21st Century recalling the charming cad, whose thrilling escapades and devil-may-care attitude entertained and attracted in equal measure.
This guide was born to reinvigorate the legend of the rakish scoundrel who is equally at home skiing in Verbier, tasting wine in Tuscany or racing at Le Mans; and knows the taste of a perfect martini, the feel of a tailored suit and the way to a lady’s heart.
They don't call, they don't do "nice" and they might well sleep with your sister...
But we’ve missed them, haven’t we….
It’s Good to be Cad…
