True Prep: It’s a Whole New Old World Audiobook (Free)

“Wake up, Muffy. We’re back again.”

From Lisa Birnbach, the writer of The Official Preppy Handbook-and designer Chip Kidd-comes a complete new take on the prep globe that Birnbach converted into an international best-selling phenomenon thirty years ago.

True Prep is normally a contemporary look at how the old guard of natural-fiber-loving, dog-worshipping, G&T-soaked preppies adapt to the new order of things. Birnbach considers the prep attitude towards cash (ambivalent), schools (good purchase), wardrobe (today your clothes suit), work (some careers won’t be prep), designing (talk to mummy), scandal (including rehab and jail), and drink and food (with some traditional dishes for both). She also talks about weekends (and what to do to get asked back again), entertaining, sports activities (including sailing and buying), weddings, etiquette, the web and electronic gadgetry, political correctness, reality Television, and . polar fleece. And lastly: a do-it-yourself eulogy.

With an increase of than 200 original illustrations and photographs, True Prep promises to be a whole new, old sensation.
