What really makes a man? Not sure. But now we know what makes his book. In The Man's Book: The Essential Guide for the Modern Man, Thomas Fink has brought together a hugely thorough and entertaining list of information and instructions pertaining to the kinds of things every guy should know. These include how to make a fire, how to dress for a wedding, how to choose your beer, how to close a letter, how to mix a drink, how to cure a hangover, how to grow a beard and how to tie a sheepshank. — Lev Grossman
