This is the most useless book I have ever read!If you want a REAL book with REAL suggestions read ( if you can still get it! its OOP) "How to Marry The Rich" This book is full of totally ridicuous info -i.e. the difference between old money and new (as if no one already KNOWS that!) and then STUPID ways to meet the rich like ( REALLY!!!) "breaking your heel to get his attention and trying to actually get to his table with him by arriving at the same time and inviting him to sit with you( a TOTAL STRANGER!!) as if he would not think you are a prostitute or crazy!
This book is without any use at all and even had a list (YES a list! ) of some of the wealthiest surnames (ex Vanderbilt, du Pont, etc DUH!! ) just in case you are a complete idiot or born in another country! haha!It said "for a small fee in probate court you can change your name to one of these" HA!! Now what is the point of THAT??!!I mean ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE YOU ARE A DU PONT? And what happens when they want to meet MUM? and you are FOUND OUT?
Yes! This is the ADVISE you get in this wonderful book!!Take my advise and get Ginie Polo Sayles Original- tried and true- Hoew to Marry the Rich- it is still a classic and has REAL ways REAL people can meet the rich BY design :)
This book is garbage!

This is a book I almost didn't buy because of a detracting review. I'm glad I listened to a friend who emailed me the Amazon page
While the author's tongue is firmly in cheek, there is a lot of useful information. Some common sense bears re-emphsis.
Three cheers for the light-hearted among us!
"Ruth Leslee Greene" is obviously a pen-name

What a lot of fun it was the other night to visit Martini's With A Twist at the Dolphin Inn in Chatham, MA on Cape Cod. The author was signing copies of HMM at the bar where I learned that *Ruth Leslee Greene* is a penname and a play on the word "ruthless."
I must say I was prepared to indict the writer of this book as some sort of Queen of Shallow Pursuits but imagine my suprise when I learned "she" was a "he."
I bought a copy out of curiosity and found it as entertaining as it it is instructive. Then went back and bought more for graduation presents.

Bought it today in Chatham, MA to give my secretary on Valentine's Day. Couldn't resist the temptation to crack it open and check out the skinny on how to marry into the Land of Loot. It was a lot of fun to read. Not at all greedy or arrogant. As a [$$$] gift, I'm going to buy a few more for the gals this Valentine's and order a bunch for later this year at graduation time. Nice, sophisticated humor. Reminds me a little bit of the carefree comedies of the '30s and also of The Compleat Angler, which is ostensibly about fishing but really a metaphor for living like HTMM.

This is a favorite item to give favorite women. The title has been recently updated and issued under the author's real name KEVIN DOYLE. Both versions have great covers and it's fun to gift wrap them in currency.

This book is a superior example of American wit and wisdom. HOW TO MARRY MONEY has improved my poise and confidence as well as the quality of my companionship. I recommend it highly to all women from 18 to 80. It's also the perfect graduation present for women on their way to do great things. Read it! Learn it! Live it!

This is a fun read by KEVIN DOYLE, writing as RUTH LESLEE GREENE.

A even bigger, better. less expensive version is the one Doyle has out this year under the same title but using his own name from Penguin/Plume.

Also fun by Kevin Doyle are two other titles - HOW TO MEET BEAUTIFUL WOMEN and DATING YOUNGER WOMEN.

This author is truly the King of Shallow Pursuits and his books make perfect host/hostess gifts.

It's so dead-on in its observations that you can't help but laugh!

Ostensibly about golddigging, this book shows women the absurdity of greed while encouraging them to be better people instead of blinded by bling.

It should be under Humor instead of Self-help.

This is a good book by Kevin Doyle writing under pen-name "Ruth Leslee Greene."

The nom de plume is obviously a play on the word "ruthless."

Another version of HOW TO MARRY MONEY just out from Penguin/Plume under Doyle's own name has been revised, expanded and updated.

Either way, both have great covers and make perfect gifts for birthday girls, graduates, hostesses, and stockings over the holidays.

Check out Doyle's HOW TO MEET BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.
