Book Description

August 5, 2008
Gone are the days when guys got by on a firm handshake and a high tolerance for whiskey. In an age when men are practicing yoga and getting manicures, but are still expected to open jars and change flat tires, it’s no wonder they feel like they’ve lost their bearings. Well, here’s the compass that will lead them in the right direction! The Guide for Guys walks men through all the things they should—but too often, don’t—know. For example, when attacked in the wild, should you play dead, fight back, or run? What is the proper etiquette when hosting a barbecue? Is there a surefire way to impress your boss? From changing directions on the dance floor to wielding a circular saw, from a burly “man’s man” to a borderline metrosexual, this amusingly illustrated guide is the go-to book for every guy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Practical Guide for Men of All Ages, March 29, 2009
This review is from: The Guide for Guys: An Extremely Useful Manual for Old Boys and Young Men (Hardcover)
"The Guide for Guys" is a practical read for any man who wants to know more about topics such as:

holding a baby, riding a horse, building a fire, making a great first impresssion, playing chess, hitting a golf ball, mowing the lawn, and a host of other topices.

Each chapter is around 3 pages and covers the highlights of a particular topic. While the book is full of common sense, we men sometimes need to be reminded.

The book flows smoothly and is an easy read - I was able to read through the book in one sitting.

Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars When you can't figure out what to give...., August 19, 2009

This review is from: The Guide for Guys: An Extremely Useful Manual for Old Boys and Young Men (Hardcover)
This book is the perfect gift for guys between 14 and 21... I used it for my sons at Easter as a gag, and ended up buying several for high school graduation gifts for my son's group of friends. Every page or so is a helpful hint on how to do something (bowling, tie a tie, hold a baby, protect yourself during a fistfight, choose a cigar, prevent a hangover...). The guys LOVED it.

I bought this as a gag gift for Christmas for my boyfriend, and he thought it was absolutely hilarious!!! The chapters and topics range from standing up to a bear, to picking the right color tie! Again, what a great gift! xD
