I may be a bit biased already being a fan of it's author
however , I can give this book a wholehearted reccomendation to anyone who enjoys good humor , books of interesting or unusual facts , anticdotes , clever book art ,the small pleasures of the Natural world and not to be left out ; the fastidious personal relationship with style .
The book includes philosophies of style and toiletry that even the hoplessly unfashionable can enjoy.
It is a charming account of an interesting Man who has chosen to create and live in his own world by his own rules and who enjoys every minute of it very much.
I have shown it to friends who were clueless to the elusive rules and the world of dandyism and found it endearing , amusing and intriguing.
A must for those who hold dear the Art of Living , and for everyone really.
It is also a perfect gift item .
Highly reccomended.
