This is by far the most entertaining, and useful, of the lot, as it is written by the late, great Joan Crawford, someone who learned and worked the hard way to get everything she had out of life. This included more money, success, fame, and glamour than any other woman of her day. Crawford offers advice for every avenue of improving your life in this book -- from making yourself more attractive, to developing charm and manners and grace. It is a blueprint to becoming a lady or gentleman, something that is sadly long extinct in our society, where vulgarity, negativity, and the inability to appreciate beauty are the norm. Crawford started out on the bottom tier of the caste system and worked her way up to the top, and she learned a lot of priceless things along the way. The primary theme of the book seems to be "appearances matter more than you think," for all the advice is geared towards impressions. Joan will teach you how to mold others' impressions of yourself. And you are obviously learning from a master. The book is warm, humorous (sometimes unintentionally), and most of all helpful. In this day of long lost social graces, it is possible to revisit and learn an appreciation for the finer things in life with this book.
