Original ’50s guide for the debonair 007 in every man!

Eclectic, funny and kitsch advice for every wannabe sophisticated man-about-town, the Esquire Handbook for Hosts, first published in 1949, deserves to be a modern humour classic. This edition with 40 of the original illustrations contains witty and informative sections on:
• all sorts of classic James Bond type cocktails
• recipes and hangover cures
• manners for the modern man – notes on etiquett
• How to carve
• how to remove a drunk from the house
• the art of conversation, small talk and debate
• rules for card and party games, including poker, three handed bridge and gin rummy
• chatting up the opposite sex
…and much, much more.

A design/humour classic – the book uses the ’50s style with muted colour tints dropped in.
