The Modern Man's Guide to Life

This stellar volume is jam-packed with information which ranges from picking a wardrobe, cooking easy meals, and of course.. relationships. I bought this when it first came out and my (then) girlfriend said, "Hey, where's the guide for women!". I agree with the other reviewers as some of the tech info is out of date, for example much has changed with tvs, computers and the internet. OTOH, there is more than enough advice for realms that one would not normally think about, for example buying a house at tax auction. Fantastic book!

What to Do If the Pilot Dies, How to Hop a Freight, all that and more is in this great classic. I bought a copy of this book when it first came out, and I've bought at least one copy (one way or another) every year since because my friends keep stealing mine. The tech stuff is dated, but the rest is golden. I'm ordering another copy now, probably the 20th one. Maybe someday this book will be the basis for some new Guy religion. I'm already a believer!

Like some readers here I too got this book for high school graduation 9 years ago. The book is written in a straight-forward manner and easy to read. I enjoy reading and re-reading certain passages. In fact I use it as a reference to most anything. The only downside I can think of is it's datedness with some of the more technical aspects particularly with respect to surviving in the outdoors. Either way I hope it goes back to print.

I received this book for my high school graduation and read it cover to cover. It has practical knowledge that is easy to read. "The Guide" talks about things my parents never had the never to discuss with me. I hope they go into print soon because many men could use what its got.

I first bought this book when I was stationed overseas. The information in it was as useful there as it was stateside. So far I've had one copy "borrowed" by a junior officer(you know who you are),"lost" in the dorm room of a friend, and one was simply outright stolen. Everyone I meet wants this book, includeing women. If you can get it, lock it up!
