This is the kind of book I needed - I didn't want to ask a lot of stupid questions to my boss about how to look at my job, and this told me everything I needed to know to fit in. The parts about office politics are also helpful and probably saved me from making a few stupid mistakes.
Be a true gentleman... or at least dress like one.

I have been a professional for a long time, and of all the books I have ever read on gentlemen's fashion and appearance, this book by Clinton Greenleaf III is by far the most comprehensive, informative and practical guide that I have come across. He writes in detail on the important aspects of dressing, handshaking, and general behavior and doesn't waste your time. The book is short and sweet, and to the point-- I first read it while on a business flight. This is by all means a MUST HAVE for any professional-- my copy is in my briefcase and it goes where I go.
Girls, you CAN change your man!

Listen up, Ladies! This is THE book to buy for your man. My guy is the sweetest, funniest, cutest thing around but he has no clue about what looks good--his wardrobe is hopeless and he hates to go clothes shopping! When he got an awesome new job, I knew I had to do something, and that's when I picked up this book. Not only does it show a guy HOW to dress and act like a million bucks, it tells him WHY he has to. Thank you, Clinton Greenleaf--after hearing it from you, my guy finally got the message. Now he looks totally sharp (and all my girlfriends are so jealous . . .)
Good Gift for College Kids

I bought this book for my little brother in College. He finally learned how to tie a tie and what to wear to an interview. He really liked it and bought some copies for his friends. Anyway, I thought it was a good gift idea.
A Classy Upgrade

The first book he did was nice, but this one is really classy. It has more information on clothing and keeping the right look about yourself - the part on shaving is rather interesting. Well worth the investment
