Title: I'm quite surprised this is in reprint
Product review: I'm a bachelor; of the old school. I was terribly excited when I found this book; a first edition, bound in snakeskin of all things. A topic close to my heart, in an amazing binding! I figured it would be some plummy Etonian wit. I was disappointed in the contents. It started out as a curmudgeonly Thereaux-like rant about the married state. It degenerated into some sentimental hogwash. It was interesting in its (possibly fictional) account of rural Britain and Italy of the day. I figured this was something written and privately printed by a rich boy to impress a chick. Oh well: it looks neat. I am surprised to find it in reprint; this is something which certainly should have faded into bibliophile obscurity.
