Ellis, Vivian. How to Be a Man About Town. First Edition. 1965. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition—there is minor soiling to the back cover. Illustrations by John Jensen.
This book was published in London, but it is applicable to most cities—New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris, etc. It is less a how-to guide than it is a humorous explanation of the manners and tribulations associated with being a socially oriented personage of the male gender. It does seek to answer age-old questions such as how to deal with a waiter and how a gentleman handles himself in a public park. There are other amusing bits as well—on hosting cocktail parties, attending opening nights, arranging transportation, etc.
