The rules were simpler in bygone days, but technological changes have caused seismic shifts to the cultural landscape of 21st century. Do the rules of common courtesy still apply?

How to Be a Gentleman is an indispensable guide for men of all ages who aspire to become gentlemen, including tips and guidelines such as:
- How to respond to those with whom you disagree
- When and where it is appropriate to use your cellphone
- How to dress for various formal events

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoy this book. It is like seeing James Bond in my head all over again and then, getting the credits, he learned all this from a book. Blam! I am enjoying this!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's great for basic manners, but it is more focused on the fancy, etiquette-y part of it. More like a list of rules than principles and ideas. Good book for starters.
