Paperback. Zustand: Good. 160 pages. Cover wornFrom P. J. O'Rourke, best-selling author and expert bachelor, comes a hilario us look at domestic life. Or, as P.

In addition to debunking popular myths about bachelo rs (they are in fact not creatures known to hang around the house in silk smokin g jackets, sipping brandy from oversized snifters) P.
