CULTURE | RECOMMENDED READING | The Official Preppy Handbook
I'm pretty sure that Lisa Birnbach did not anticipate the success she would realise with this book... Intended as a parody of the preppy lifestyle 'The Official Preppy Handbook' fast became a go-to bible for preppies.
The book covers such issues as when to wear pink and green (always), how to organise a cocktail party, what schools to send your children to, what type of dog to own, how to decorate your home and so on.
I find myself picking this book up time and time again and it has served as key inspiration for this blog.
