How to be a Gentleman by John Bridges
3.0
Most things didn't really apply to me because of my young age (and also sometimes due to religion) For example a lesson in wine - in no will I be drinking wine at this age and faith.
I wouldn't say the courtesies outlined in this book were all-encompassing (it was a short read). I think this is more of an addition to Other How To Be a GentleMan books. Most of the articles also will probably not apply to young men - more like those in their prime (25-45 years old).
But again, I got this book from the library,so I do not regret having spent on it. There are other alternatives such as Emily Post's series about etiquette (this book is more about etiquette I'd say too) and Men Affairs websites.
In all, a short read - and the thing with manuals is that its hard for you to remember back every single detail unless you re-read it or jot down notes.
