Manners can be learned; character must be built. Maurice Francis Egan tells young men what makes a gentleman, what does not, how to express a thought, how to write a letter, and what belongs on the home bookshelf, Shakespeare included. Short chapters, plain talk, standards worth keeping. Hand it to a boy becoming a man.

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.
