A fun, fascinating and deliciously nasty book.
Remarkably researched and bursting with amusing anecdotes, the book offers snob education for the serious snob or wannabe.
The author sweetens her medicine with broad parody, perhaps to disarm us via belly laughs. There is lots to hoot about in these pages...[This] tongue-in-cheek how-to guide offers enough options to satisfy absolute gluttons for snobbery.
Many of us will recognize bits of ourselves in these riotously funny pages...The Canadian Book of Snobs, written by Canadas snob expert par excellence, is delightful therapy for the socially challenged and is guaranteed to make one cringe, laugh, and then think.
