This review is from: The Official Preppy Handbook (Paperback)
Last summer I shopping at a store in Bar Harbor and a group of kids came in: maybe in their early teens. Each was skinny, wore a polo shirt and shorts, had shortish hair, and a deep tan. I could not for the life of me tell if any of them were boys or girls. All I could think about was the Preppy Handbook, and how they describe EXACTLY that phenomenon in the childhood section.Why is this book out of print? It was brilliant, is brilliant, and will always be brilliant! Anyone who lives in New England should own this book.

This review is from: The Official Preppy Handbook (Paperback)
When I first moved to new York City to work in the corporate world I came across Lisa Birnbach's Preppy Handbook. Suddenly everything made sense. I could understand why the blonde vice president in the elevator had the "executive look" and I didn't. I understood the vague references. Coming from somewhere where no one ever had tailgates, much less parties on them, it introduced me to a whole other way of life. I needed to understand preppies if I were to achieve success in the East and Lisa let me know the code. The book is a wonderful piece of cultural anthropology.I routinely recommend this book to talented kids from other classes and other places who are trying to make it in the Northeast. Along with John Molloy's Dress for Success, this book made it possible for me to adapt to corporate life.
