Paisley Goes with Nothing: A Man's Guide to Style
Autor Hal Rubenstein Jim Mullenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 1997
Old ski lift tickets are not a fashion accessory.
Nothing is "fun for the whole family" unless the parents are under ten.
There's no such thing as classy luggage as long as you have to carry it.
With an irresistible combination of sharp wit, shrewd insight, and great common sense, Paisley Goes with Nothing offers men an invaluable arsenal of survival tactics for thriving in a modern world, including "Two Easy Pieces (Buying a Suit)", "Father Knew Zip (How to Shave)", "A Medium Is the Message--But So Is an Extra Large (What Your Wardrobe Says About You)", "Geeks Bearing Gifts (Buying Presents)", "House by You (Entertaining on Your Turf)", and dozens more that are as useful and enlightening as they are ingeniously, universally funny. An indispensable resource for every man (and a godsend for those in search of a perfect gift), it's society's last hope for keeping the word gentleman from becoming obsolete.
