Classic--Perfect for the Coffee Table
This book is timeless. It was written before I was even born and much of it still holds true. Some of the references are dated, but most of the material is relevant and funny. It's a nice book to have out on your coffee table for guests to browse through for some light amusement. I actually paid a little more for "nice" copy of the book. Perhaps it will be a collector's item someday. It ...

Strikingly irreverent and still relevant
When going through the tumultous college application process a few years ago, my prep school roommate and I found a copy of this book. Although it's now eighteen years old, it's still alarmingly accurate and relevant. Don't be put off by Ms. Birnbach's "Put-Out Chart" or the listings of most popular drugs on campus. The book, though at times offensive to some, gives irreverent and spot-on ...

Then on page 4 we are treated to this great "thing": "You'll always remember your senior prom, ...
