First published in 2008, our perennial classic is an essential handbooks that re-examines and re-defines the notion of the modern gentleman.

Much has changed during this period, and our new edition provides an array of fresh perspectives and amusing insights.

An eclectic range of topics includes: the rules of tailoring; classic cocktails and martinis; how to fly in style; cuisine to impress; tipping and taxis in far-flung places; how to be a good boss; how to dress for the board room, the beach or the golf course. 

This essential handbook for the modern gentleman is enhanced by Debrett’s insights on gentlemanly behaviour, from avoiding being patronising in the office and displaying savoir-faire to courteous driving, elegant table manners and good sportsmanship.

This is a book that will both entertain and edify.
