Book review: The Mr Porter Paperback - The Volume for a Stylish Life, Volume 3

Monday, 15 December 2014

Published just in time for Christmas, this is the third of Mr Porter's guides for men into the pleasures and intricacies and subtleties of style, ownership and living. I missed out on the first two volumes and have yet to catch up with them, but I see that all three are sold as a complete set (see Mr Porter to buy). 


This is a book to dip into to be entertained. From Stars in their Cars to How to Undress in Front of a Lady, here are light-hearted guides, reviews and interviews into many of the fascinating subjects that exercise the minds of the modern gentleman (and even those who aren't gentlemen) of whatever age. Often informative and well-written, it would make an excellent gift for any red or blue-blooded male.


The price is steep at £20 (this is a paperback after all) but, putting that in perspective, it compares well with the price of a round of drinks down the pub. From all bookshops, online or at Mr Porter.
