 Good Start. The Rest Is Up To You., 2008-12-13
Just like any other well-meaning book merely devised as a guide instead of absolute gospel, Bridge's little opus sticks to the point and belays the details.
Every single piece of advice and every single rule are valuable things to take heart. It's simple and quick, telling you what to do and/or how to do it yet seldom, if ever, explaining why. The whys and why-nots are basically all just common sense deductions anyway. It took me one night to go through every word. Now I can just keep it on hand for future reference.
As a few other reviewers have mentioned, some of the entries are "take it or leave it," meaning don't follow whatever nuggets of knowledge you don't like. None of it is brain surgery anyway - but nice little reminders on how to do the right things are keys to following the straight and narrow roads hard travelled.

 A waste but not much else out there, 2008-11-01
I Gave this two stars because it doesn't really mean how to be a gentleman it means how to be a fancy playboy with good manners. I'm not denying that there are good lesions to lean here but he tells you be careful not to slam a door in some one's face how about holding the door open for people or how you should hold the umberrlla for certain people it just tells you what kind of dishes and towels to own now to me that has nothing to do with being a Gentleman but maybe that's just me. Too me it's more about having good manners (Common Courtesy) bringing happy day to some people it does not what you look like or how your dressed on a daily basses just that in certain instances you should dress up dinners weddings obvious stuff. But like I said just must be me.

The perfect present for a male family member, 2008-11-01
This is a great present for a brother, nephew, uncle, etc. I bought one for each of my four older brothers (ages 24, 25, 34, 39). This book was special to each of them in different ways. Of course, I added a note in the front cover - something along the lines of "Name, you are already a gentleman, but in case you find yourself in a situation that you need some guidance, this will help."
