SNOBS A Guidebook to Your Friends, Your Enemies, Your Colleagues & Yourself 1950
SNOBS A Guidebook to Your Friends, Your Enemies, Your Colleagues, and Yourself. By RUSSELL LYNES, with Drawings by ROBERT OSBORN,
Harper & Brothers, New York, 1950.
Psychology - Humor
The inimitable Russell Lynes flaunts (rather snobbishly, perhaps) his unparalleled expertise on all things snobbish. Since the Social Snob--with his raised nostrils and air of intolerable intolerance--has long since gone underground, it falls to a true connoisseur to identify the myriad faces of snobbery. Whether it be the Regional, Political, or Moral Snob, the Sensual or Sex Snob, or that most virulent of genus, the Reverse or Anti-Snob Snob, Lynes shines an illuminating light that will enable us to more easily recognize the pervasive pretentiousness surrounding us . . . and perhaps within us as well.
Secure binding with clean pages and a lightly faded cover. The jacket is price-clipped with small chips at the rear top edge/top of the spine. 54 pages. Hardcover book.
