Writing as the worldly bachelor Henry Lunettes, Margaret Conkling addressed young men in a series of letters on politeness and fashion, from dress and address to the conduct of life among ladies. The disguise let a woman tell American men exactly what they needed to hear. Mid-century mentorship with a secret. Letters from an uncle who never existed.

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.
