        Preppydom preserved.

        The book is a period piece -- a different era. It is a worthy spoof of blatant pretentiousness and sometimes dubious privilege. But the book is also endearing in a way. "You would have had to be there". Worth the hefty price? Not if you have to ask. I would write more here. But I need to get moving along with ordering an new belt with nautical flags.

      • Fun reading to bring back memories of the 1980s

        Love this book! Brings me back to my high school and college years.

      • Fun book but out of print now

        I am replacing one I had. Fun read. Since it’s out of print, I guess people think they can charge the moon for a paperback.

      • Classic parody

        The book is a satire of the wasp american elites of the early 20th century. Interesting read.

      • Old but gold.

        Great tongue-in-cheek book on the preppy life.
