Why don't men marry? Maud Churton Braby opens with the mutual dissatisfaction of the sexes and proceeds to diagnose modern marriage with a cheek that startled Edwardian reviewers. Part social criticism, part survival guide, entirely readable. The marriage debate of 1908 at its liveliest. Bear it with a smile.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
