I've been a faithful visitor to the Art Of Manliness since its inception in 2008. I've been shaving like my grandpa (pg. 78) ever since.
The Illustrated Art of Manliness is the perfect extension of the website. It contains many of Brett's best posts, along with some new ones, in one convenient place. So much of, as a man, I think I need to know plus things I never thought I would want to know, are detailed in an easy to read fashion alongside some amazing illustrations.
Growing up, I was always amazed by how my dad just knew how to do things. One day I asked him how he knew so much. Jokingly he responded "When you become a dad, they give you a book with everything you need to know."
This is that book.

Pros:
Easy to follow instructions
Awesome illustrations
Humor infused with actual knowledge (using your baby as exercise equipment)
And excellent quality. (Printed in the U.S.A!)
Cons:
I really need to think to come up with cons.
Maybe a few of the instructions for firing a pistol wern't in- depth enough...?
A section for rifle shooting would have been sweet, but like it said in the beginning, this is just an introduction to manly things, and Brett provides TONS of resources in the back of the book to further your research on becoming a better man.
Whether you're a backwoodsman or a scholar, this book is a must have for any man, and would make a fantastic Gift.
Bottom line: its manly as hell.

Excellent book, if you've ever enjoyed the website, go ahead and pick this up, you won't be disappointed.

A great book, well organized with good information. Funny but not silly, not a deep read but full of thoughtful and poignant information and quotes along with great illustrations. Covers everything from survival, dating, manners, to style. Very timeless information, not trendy or "life hacks," but prime all around essential information. Excellent job Mr McKay, I am very happy with the purchase and although I am trying to pass this along to my son already, I will pass this book along as well some day.

I bought a bunch of copies of this book to give out to various men that I know. Things talked about in this book have been lost in our current culture. To some that are too sophisticated - they will never read a book like this one just because they think they know it all or that know one can tell them anything!
My children are long since grown and have families of their own but they each were sent this book as well as others that I know. Sophisticated or not, we all could learn something from this book. Besides, the illustrations are a hoot!

Loved the idea behind the book but I deeply want to see it added to, part of what strikes as missing to me is the many practical situations that could be added such as how to move large furniture, plan a trip, be financially secure, settle disputes between children, discipline children.. along the lines of a orderly, organized and helpful person in all situations. A leader who mainly intends to lead because of his helpfulness to every situation.
I feel like this book sold a bit short to the concept of being manly rather than the responsibility that truly comes with being the man of a household.
By the way, put some info on wiring up a tv—etc that is always more of a pain than changing a tire by far lol

I happen to really like Brett, his wife and illustrator Ted Slampyak for the illustrated antidotes for the male who wants to improve and apply the quality of manliness in a positive manner. This book hits on the essential etiquettes a man should look for to improve his lifestyle and re-establish the gentlemen characteristics all men should try to exhibit. I found the gentleman and leader chapters more to my liking, but the entire book a quick, interesting easy read and learned other things which may or may not work depending on your application of it all.

Having followed The Art of Manliness blog and podcasts for years, it's not enough just to say that I'm a "big fan." These guys and their work are essential to my life and my treatment of others and the world around me. No other resource outside of my close group of guy friends has contributed more to my personal growth as a man than The Art of Manliness.
The book–no surprise here–is no different; in fact, it's quite simply the hardbacked version of the blog—classy, eloquent, forthright, beautiful, and useful. This book is absolutely fantastic; a true and honest extension of the AOM backbone and should be on every man (and woman's) bookshelf.
Five stars. Bravo, AOM.

A timeless classic for everyone to enjoy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2017Verified Purchase
Timeless information distilled from the most gentlemanly gentleman himself, Brett McKay. The quality and concise nature of the content is consistently uplifted by the complementary illustrative style of the legendary Ted Slampyak.
As a young(ish) man trying to forge his own life in a world of instant gratification, narcissists and poor communication amongst our fellow humankind, I found a great deal of comfort in Brett's words. I've been following his website, The Art of Manliness, for some time now and was half expecting to see a generic extrapolation of content taken directly from the site's archives. You won't be disappointed to hear that this is most certainly not the case. Whilst we do see the occasional throwback to some older content, it has still been reformatted and further condensed into an orderly, logical sequence.
If you are a younger man, you'll find a wealth of guidance and principals to adhere to that will help you forge a strong character that will benefit you and those around you for the rest of your life. For the maturer gentlemen reading this, you'll find a blend of guides that you may already have mastered, or are able to improve greatly with some of Brett's advice. More importantly, you will also find a treasure trove of knowledge that you probably haven't ever considered before, or even completely poo-pooed in the past. Whatever your current status, this book will enlighten your inner gentleman for life.
Ladies, whilst the target audience is clearly male dominated, there is no reason for you not to pick up a copy of this book. With the borders of men and women becoming increasingly blurred with each generation, it makes sense to find out more about what makes the opposite sex tick. From it, you will absorb knowledge that would traditionally just have been passed down from father to son across generations. You'll pick up skills in survival, leadership, technology and other areas that could help give you an edge in all walks of life. We no longer live in a "man's world" and there is no reason you shouldn't be able to apply what you learn to level any archaic playing-field you might encounter along your way, particularly in older institutions that have yet to modernise with the times. Title aside, this is a book about performance.
For anyone else, this also makes an awesome addition for any coffee table, waiting room or bookshelf!
I hope you found this review useful in making your decision to grab a copy. The book itself is far more interesting!
Cheers,
Mr. Hampton
