Description

"His old man liked a stiff drink and a close shave, but he listens to music from outer space on his hi-fi while sipping mai tais. He wears a shiny pegged-leg suit and takes chicks back to his pad. He's cool, he's urbane, he's glib, he's copacetic. He's a cross between James Bond and Lenny Bruce, all wrapped up into one smooth-talking cocktail-mixing package. The swinging space age bachelor is back! - and more prepared than ever with this essential guide to the golden age of the American bachelor. Illustrated with original artifacts from the Beat era and beyond - including record and book covers, advertisements, magazine excerpts, cocktail ephemera, and other classic relics - this very classy little volume offers a hilarious glimpse into the evolution of the modern man-about-town."--Jacket.
