How to Marry Money: It's Just as Easy to Fall in Love with Someone Rich

While skewering the arrogant and the greedy, this humorous guide provides the reader with tools and tips for travelling, attending social functions and enjoying the company of the jet set.

A riotous read (in a deadpan kind of way) of amusing anecdotes, rules and instructions for life. Whether you take it seriously or poke fun at it, it's a brisk jaunt through the pretentions of wealthy members of the American establishment, where what really matters is to dress right and read Town and Country. One of my favourite anecdotes touchs upon the use of a terrapin fork. It's written by an Irishman from Boston and Cape Cod who describes the rich in this country, showing us in detail who they really are and how they live. It's unlikely to leave my coffee table for a while.

To succeed in the Northeast, you need Doyle's HOW TO MARRY MONEY, Molloy's DRESS FOR SUCCESS and Birnbach's OFFICIAL PREPPY HANDBOOK. These books will help ambitious people keep their eyes on the prize.

No book can make you much more attractive than you already are, but Doyle's book is a fun read and a great conversation piece.The shopping, cooking and reading suggestions are informative, along with suggested venues to visit for such purposes as being seen or surveying others.Well-designed and well-written, with an emerald-cut sparkler on its Tiffany blue cover, How to Marry Money is one of my favorite gifts for sophisticated hostesses.

A pretty little book. The shiny cover with a picture of a big, frosty sparkler (nice touch!) caught my attention in the book store store and I bought it on impulsive response to the emerald-cut diamond.This little blue book was loads of fun to read and it delivered plenty (I mean PLENTY) of advice on how to move up whatever social ladder you have in mind.
