    • ... first read the Art of Manliness it was a joy to read and I went through it quickly and ...
When I first read the Art of Manliness it was a joy to read and I went through it quickly and read it again latter. It was a book that I was waiting for and I think many others felt the same so the book filled a real void. Basically Brett and his wife Kay have dedicated themselves to a project to make men better morally, spiritually, be better citizens and human beings. It focuses on men because we have certain issues that differ from woman but nothing has been written about woman that has not been respectful and complimentary. This book is a lot of fun and has some very useful information. Ted Slampyak's illustrations are perfect for the book and add a lot. Its a book I pick up from time to time to learn a new skill. Its the perfect size for the coffee table and very handsome and well done. ... show more

    • A great book.
Full of useful things that a person should know about in their journey to becoming a man.

    • Useful information for artful womanliness, too
This book is a riot! I gave a copy to all the women in my family. Hey, we want to know how to properly prepare in order to jump from a moving vehicle, too. Or how to escape from a car sinking in water . . . the book covers a little of everything from "how to knot a tie" to "how to knot a rope" for specific uses. Simply written. And I'm not sure why I find it humorous. Maybe because one rarely discusses these topics. ... show more

Possibly the manliest book to ever be printed. I highly recommend this book, and it will be a great addition to the book shelf. Pros: Easy to follow instructions Awesome illustrations Humor infused with actual knowledge (using your baby as exercise equipment) And excellent quality. (Printed in the U.S.A!) Cons: I really need to think to come up with cons. Maybe a few of the instructions for firing a pistol wern't in- depth enough...? A section for rifle shooting would have been sweet, but like it said in the beginning, this is just an introduction to manly things, and Brett provides TONS of resources in the back of the book to further your research on becoming a better man. Whether you're a backwoodsman or a scholar, this book is a must have for any man, and would make a fantastic Gift. Bottom line: its manly as hell. ... show more

    • This book is also a great tool for helping to teach a son
This book is filled with so many "how tos" that have been essentially forgotten over the years. I remember my own father teaching me some of the things that Brett has put into this book...things that today may seem old fashioned or outdated. The younger crowd may feel that these skills, or know-how, are things from the past that no longer apply to them in today's technology-advanced world, but what man doesn't need to know how to polish his shoes before a big date, or how to sharpen his own pocketknife? This book is also a great tool for helping to teach a son, or even a daughter, the basic life skills a person needs in everyday life. I've taught my own son many of the skills found in this book, but I'm going to buy him a copy so he can use it to teach his own son! Excellent and entertaining book! Thanks Brett McKay!! ... show more

    • Wonderful book!
Wonderful, cute, humorous, but important reading for today’s man who wants to be a gentleman. Bought this because my son and I love the Art Of Manliness podcasts and I know my son would enjoy this book. The only complaint I have is the copy that I received has a crease on the front cover. I did not buy it used, but doesn’t quite look new due to the crease. ... show more

    • Keep it within reach, always a great read & gift for a son or husband!
Thanks Brett, thanks Ted! I'm a regular & long fan of the podcast & love the app. I got my copy, & need to buy copies for a few friends. Not every guy has every skill, sometimes a helpful & interesting guide is always welcome. My favourite part of the AOM is the illustrations of Ted, and I'm always finding an opportunity to share with my friends "if your going to try that, or if your interested in that here" and I share the illustrations I've saved in Pocket over the years. ( & the AOM web link). I eagerly look forward to Book II. Please, I think now all made it to the book. ... show more

    • A practical book every man should read.
This review is by a 21 year-old male. Wow, I'm so thankful I followed the link that led me to The Art of Manliness. The content is very encouraging and uplifting, and the McKay's have packed plenty of wonderful information into this book. One could call it a how-to guide for useful lost skills and embracing your masculinity. Some of the content is just to be funny (of course you need a handkerchief for all of the reasons given! :) ), but most is extremely practical. It covers how to break down a door, control car skids, survive falling through ice, and over 250 pages of other wonderfully explained and illustrated guides. I can almost guarantee any male would enjoy reading this classy volume! ... show more
