How to Get a Teen-Age Boy, and What to Do With Him When You Get Him.

Rating:
Summary: Quaint but outdated
Review: I got this book as a gift from my 62 year old aunt. Offers dated advice (Discos are good for dancing, but not to get to know a date). Silly and unpractical, but good if for nothing else than a shallow look at how things were.

Summary: Little practical value, high humour value!
Review: This book is hilariously outdated, and good for a laugh, if nothing else. The copyright year says 1969, but much of the content makes the reader wonder if it's a misprint that was meant to read 1949! One entire section gives tips for how smart a girl should "seem" in school, and talks frequently about girls who've "scared away" boys with their intelligence! Between chauvanistic remarks ("a woman's job is to make men's lives easier") and dated cultural references ("discos", "the war in Vietnam"), this book is great for looking back on how life once was.
