Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"One of America's foremost arbiters of taste and mores... Essayist, social historian, photographer and Renaissance man, Mr. Lynes was an acclaimed expert on what was highbrow, what was lowbrow and what was no brow at all." -- New York Times

Reseña del editor:

In this humorous look at the phenomenon of snobbery, Lynes begins by stating, 'the social snob, while not extinct, has gone underground (except for professionals such as headwaiters and metropolitan hotel room-clerks), and snobbery has emerged in a whole new set of guises'. He playfully skewers the many types that have since emerged, from Emotional Snobs to Sensual, Political, Taste, Regional, and Reverse Snobs. In vivid characterizations that run the gamut, Lynes' cutting wit brings out his contemporaries' foibles with humor and elan. It includes a number of illustrative drawings by Robert Olson.
