Rules for My Son

Rules For My Son is a collection of traditional, humorous, and urbane fatherly advice for boys. From the sartorial ('Men should not wear sandals. Ever') to the practical ('Keep a copy of your letters. It makes it easier for your biographer') to even a couple of sure-fire hangover cures ('There is no better remedy than a dip in the ocean'), the book of rules, photos and accompanying quotations is the quintessential instruction manual for becoming a Good Man - industrious, thoughtful, charming, and of course, well-dressed. Hip and witty with a decidedly traditionalist flavour, Rules for My Newborn Son is meant to evoke simpler times when Father knew best and a suitable answer to 'Why?' was 'Because I said so.' Based on the hit blog and presented as a beautifully designed hardback, there is no better gift for the discerning father, father-to-be, or son, this Christmas.

Walker Lamond is the writer of the popular blog Rules For My Unborn Son and is a television producer whose documentaries have appeared on the Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, TruTV, and HBO. He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife and their son and daughter.
