Curiously charming vintage book set. The volumes are “written by a man, almost exclusively for men” and “examine what makes or breaks the gentleman and leaves it to the reader to decide whether he wishes to be part of the upper classes or not.” Full of characterful examples, witticisms and wonderfully amusing illustrations, this book would make the perfect gift for any book-lover or collector of quirky retro curiosities. Also great as a uniquely individual present for Fathers’ Day.
