Editorial Reviews

Product Description
For decades, bookstore childcare sections were dominated by books for women that is, until Quirk's Baby Owner's Manual offered a fun and refreshing alternative for male readers. Now we're crashing the wedding section with The Groom's Instruction Manual, an irreverent guide to everything guys need to know about:

Getting Engaged (popping the question, finding a ring)
Wedding Planning (choosing a location, drafting a guest list)
The Big Day (rehearsal dinners, toasts, what to do if you start crying)
Post-Wedding (honeymooning, thank-you notes, newlywedding)
And much more

Illustrated in the award-winning visual style that has made our Owner's Manual series a smash success, The Groom's Instruction Manual is the perfect shower gift for (engaged) men of all ages.

About the Author
Shandon Fowler had five hundred guests at his wedding--and if he can survive that, you've got nothing to worry about. He and his wife are happily married and live in Charleston, South Carolina.

5.0 out of 5 stars I bought three!, May 4, 2008

By	S. Wu (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I orignially got this for my fiance but I started reading it before I saw him and I had to finish it. I bought another 2 for my co-workers who will be getting married soon as well. It's a fun book and it talks about things that as a bride I wouldn't necessarily have thought of.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, March 28, 2008

By	elb - See all my reviews

This is a great book. It's funny, so it can be a gag gift, but it also has some helpful information. I got it for my fiance and he's been dutifully reading it and seemingly enjoying it. He seems to be particularly interested in the section about who is this financee and what happened to the woman I love. I like the part where it tells him that his finacee is always right.
The one drawback...the opening section is on proposing, and it would have been a bit forward to give it to him before he proposed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond surviving!, February 13, 2008

By	Beth P. Grace "Mrs Greenjeans" (SC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book by Shandon Fowler is not only humorous but it is a first rate guide to good manners & social customs which are often ignored or unknown until they have caused conflict in the wedding events!! The groom's life will be much better & he will survive marriage as well!! Knowing how differently men & women approach events & life issues is half the battle! A must read!
