Wonderfully delightful

I think this is a book every adult without the proper etiquette training and manners should have.

more "swagger" for the next book. please, mr. bentley...thank you!

i bought this book yesterday at a borders bookstore, and was able to finish it in less than an hour! and after that, i proceeded to read it again a few hours later before i went to bed! i appreciate a man like derek watkins(fonzworth bentley) providing our society with a book like this because a this time and age, a lot of people young and older need to read this book and learn a little something from it...the only problem with this book, and believe me it's a minor one, was that it's way too short for something so excellent!! mr. bentley, please send more "swagger" our way, please? thank you very much, sir, for your knowledge and expert tutelage.

"Something long overdue"

Derek a.k.a. "Fonzworth Bentley" has taken the time to share things that all civilized individuals should know and care about. In this particular period when so many artists are focusing on the obscure and unimportant, Derek manages to infuse a breath of fresh air into the hip-hop community. I am confident that he has put together a timeless piece of literature!

Trust Me...EVERYBODY Needs To Get This Book!
