Title: Disappointed - not what i wanted or expected.
Review: although the book is well written and interesting reading, it is not at all what i wanted or expected. i am looking for a serious reference book which provides names, addresses, phone numbers, and ratings of the top barbers in the country. in fact, the subtitle of the book, which i feel is very misleading, is "in search of america's great barbershops". what search? i expected several hundred listings of barbers from across the usa. Instead, this book is a mishmash of history, haircutting and shaving techniques, and barber jokes, and i think it's aimed mostly at barbers themselves, rather than the public at large. it features barbers the author has visited personally, but it doesn't provide the pertinent information necessary to locate them. like most people, i've been the victim of many a bad haircut in my day, and i would like to find a simple, no nonsense directory of top rated barbers across the country.
