  • Preppydom preserved.

    The book is a period piece -- a different era. It is a worthy spoof of blatant pretentiousness and sometimes dubious privilege. But the book is also endearing in a way. "You would have had to be there". Worth the hefty price? Not if you have to ask. I would write more here. But I need to get moving along with ordering an new belt with nautical flags.

  • Fun book but out of print now

    I am replacing one I had. Fun read. Since it’s out of print, I guess people think they can charge the moon for a paperback.

  • Classic parody

    The book is a satire of the wasp american elites of the early 20th century. Interesting read.
