The Official Preppy Handbook
by Lisa Birnbach
A step by step guide to living the prep life.
This book is somewhat hard to categorize. It is humorous yet serious in its extreme attention to detail on how to live like a preppy. Every action, function, like and dislike of your average preppy is laid out for quick absorption by those who crave the prep existence. Everything is written in chronological order, from the day you are born into prep life to the days of retirement and country clubs. The handy information in this 1980 cult classic still holds true, as anything truly preppy is devoid of trendiness; instead it embraces the classic, time-proven look of generations gone by.
Whether you are wondering if your affinity for navy blue blazers qualifies you as preppy or if you are a non-prep who is dying to get into the local golf club and live the prep life, this book is for you. You will learn what to wear, what to eat, where to go to school and where to vacation. You will learn the importance of being called Babs instead of Barbara and why you can never go wrong with pearls and a strong backhand. So soak up the preppy life and go out and conquer the world! Mummy will be so proud.
