Synopsis

The Chap magazine is the favoured reading material in the UK and around the world for those with a penchant for pedigree. Am I A Chap? seeks to classify every species and sub-species of English gentleman that one may observe throughout the seasons, from the flamboyant young fop to the crusty old duffer. Looking at established chaps such as Beau Brummel and Cary Grant the book takes readers to the present day with the Bohemian Chap and the City Gent. Full of barbed wit and helpful tips on how to correctly wear spats, this is a pocket prestige gift for stylish chaps everywhere.

Review:

The pocket size volume is a clarion call to make the world a more jovial place filled with bonhomie. --Metro

About the Author:

Born in London in 1965, Gustav Temple is the founder of The Chap Magazine, the satirical gentlemen's journal first published in 1999. Today he is the full-time editor and publisher of that journal, as well as penning freelance journalism for other publications. Mr. Temple is the co-author of four Chap-related books: The Chap Manifesto, The Chap Almanac, Around the World in 80 Martinis, and The Best of The Chap. Mr. Temple's other activities include organising The Chap Olympics, an annual Olympiad for the over-dressed, in which sportsmanship, athleticism and physical strength are not rewarded as highly as panache, guile and sporting a well-pressed trouser.
