Rules For My Son is a collection of traditional, humorous, and urbane fatherly advice for boys. From the sartorial ("Men should not wear sandals. Ever") to the practical ("Keep a copy of your letters. It makes it easier for your biographer") to even a couple of sure-fire hangover cures ("There is no better remedy than a dip in the ocean"), the book of rules, photos and accompanying quotations is the quintessential instruction manual for becoming a Good Man - industrious, thoughtful, charming, and of course, well-dressed.Hip and witty with a decidedly traditionalist flavour, Rules for My Newborn Son is meant to evoke simpler times when Father knew best and a suitable answer to "Why?" was "Because I said so." Based on the hit blog and presented as a beautifully designed hardback, there is no better gift for the discerning father, father-to-be, or son, this Christmas.
Walker Lamond is a writer, television producer, and father of three. His work has appeared on HBO, the Discovery Channel, and in publications including the Washington Post, Popular Mechanics, and Esquire. He is the author of Rules for My Newborn Daughter and Rules for My Unborn Son.
A quote book from a guy to his future son. He learned a lot from his Dad and he wants to share it through a book. Some of the quotes and notes are very important. I think it will be a cool guide book to be a real gentleman
Not a bad little book, quick and easy to read with some interesting and (for me probably because I'm a girl) rather entertaining quotes and advice for boys.
