Whether starting your own Mibrary (a Man's Library) or simply adding to your arsenal, The Modern Gentleman is an absolute must. Written by Phineas Mollod and Jason Tesauro, The MG is "a guide to essential manners, savvy & vice".
This guide covers every topic from jukeboxing and flaskmanship to bachelor parties to fitness and attire. More or less, it's a menu or do's and don'ts. No guy out there wants to be taboo. No guy wants to be the high school bookworm who got nailed in the glasses with the red, stinging dodgeball. Every guy out there wants to be Frank Sinatra, Sean Connery, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, and Chuck Norris all rolled into one. To get off on the right foot, read PM & JT's The Modern Gentleman, a Talmud of Maniquette, if you will.
Get on Amazon.com and buy it for $5-$11, used or new. One of the cheaper books you'll ever buy and definitely the most bang for your buck. Here, read the back cover and make your own decision.
"I this sourcebook of manners and mischief, author raconteurs Phineas Mollod and Jason Tesauro offer a panoramic snapshot of the enlightened modern man: witty and poignant, tradition but spontaneous, flirtatious yet courtly.
And since it is inevitable that a gentleman will dabble in the friskier areas of excess, trouble, and chance, the book's naughty nucleus, "The Potent Gentleman," explores leisure and dalliance, from alcohol and snuff to recreational botanicals and sex.
All men aspire to be perpetually dapper, fluent in three languages, and able to hit 300-yard drives off the blue tees, as well as quote poetry and win a back-alley scrap. However, there is a dashing plateaus more desirable than Hollywood perfection, a level of gallantry that makes one stand out, even in the elevator. So knot up your ascot, pour a glass of sherry, and crack open THE MODERN GENTLEMAN: your Man Cycle is peaking."
