Customer Reviews

interesting and practical book...
...full of tips for men on etiquette, style, food and drink, decor and grooming. Probably the best way to sum up this book is that it's like an extended version of GQ/FHM...but without the pictures of girls!

This book does convey the 'personality' of the TV show presenters which may or not be a bad thing according tohow much you like their style. For example, there is far too much use of "tszuj" which does grate a little on the 50th use of the word on the same page!

Aside from that it is a useful guide for a guy who'd like to make a good impression.

Like the show - love the book
If, like me, your a fan of the TV show, then the book is a perfect complement (and save you needing to take notes throughout the show). Every little tip is in here from the three button suit rule, to the evils of a monobrow. Well, written, with just the comedy edge you expect from these guys, and it shows they really know their stuff. I've learn a lot, and trust me guys you will too! Just be careful that this is a US biased book, so some of the terminology has to be slightly adapted, but it's nothing that puts you off too much.

A Reproduction Of Tips From The Show
This is a nice small sized coffee table like book that you can either flick through or sit down and read properly. Each of the Fab 5 are given a chapter and within you will find a mixture of text, pictures and various lists. Much of what is contained inside the book I had heard already from the show but it is nice to see it in print. The chapters are written with the same humour as the show. If you have watched all the episodes then you probably won't learn too much that is new but it will prove a fun read.
