A Stiff Drink & Close Shaveop
The stuff of men's lives-found in their pockets, closets, bureau drawers, and medicine cabinets-is sublimely catalogued in this entertaining look at the paraphernalia men routinely used in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s for grooming, smoking, eating, drinking, and other essential activities. A Stiff Drink and a Close Shave showcases 150 full-colour illustrations of typical men's trappings of the day, from shaving brushes to cigarette lighters. Collectors, designers, and historians will enjoy a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of a quintessentially male culture.

Step by step instructions on how to be a man
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is the book that explains clearly what a man was supposed to be, back when being a man meant more than just an identification of gender. A book that Archie Bunker, George Jefferson and Robert Young could all agree on.
