Customer Reviews

Great, funny gift!!!

I bought this as a gag gift for Christmas for my boyfriend, and he thought it was absolutely hilarious!!! The chapters and topics range from standing up to a bear, to picking the right color tie! Again, what a great gift! xD

He liked it.

Gave this book as a gift to a friend, who is a little difficult to buy for. He really enjoyed it. Found it very intertaining.

When you can't figure out what to give....

This book is the perfect gift for guys between 14 and 21... I used it for my sons at Easter as a gag, and ended up buying several for high school graduation gifts for my son's group of friends. Every page or so is a helpful hint on how to do something (bowling, tie a tie, hold a baby, protect yourself during a fistfight, choose a cigar, prevent a hangover...). The guys LOVED it.

Good Practical Guide for Men of All Ages

"The Guide for Guys" is a practical read for any man who wants to know more about topics such as: holding a baby, riding a horse, building a fire, making a great first impresssion, playing chess, hitting a golf ball, mowing the lawn, and a host of other topices. Each chapter is around 3 pages and covers the highlights of a particular topic. While the book is full of common sense, we men sometimes need to be reminded. The book flows smoothly and is an easy read - I was able to read through the book in one sitting. Recommended.
