This book is full of elementary, futile material. For example, a whole chapter (Chapter 6) is dedicated to teaching that the shirt's front packet, the pants' zipper, and the belt's buckle should all be aligned. I think it is logical to assume that anybody who knows how to tie his own shoes--let alone a "gentleman" seeking to improve his appearance--knows this information.In addition, the last six charters of the book should be excluded. They are not related to a gentleman's appearance; they relate to his etiquette and are imported--as page fillers--from Mr. Greenleaf's other frivolous book: "A Gentleman's Guide to Etiquette."The only good thing about my experience reading this book is that it didn't waste more than one hour of my time.
