Erudite

This is the Oxford Book of Snobs, and displays the erudition that one has come to expect from that press. Utilizing quotations from a variety of sources (many literary, of the highest quality), it presents a sophisticated view of snobbery that transcends more simplistic sociological and anecdotal books.
