Snobbery with Violence: An Edwardian Murder Mystery (Edwardian Murder Mysteries)
Lady Rose Summer's debut into high society is a complete disaster. Rose's father suspects her fiancé Sir Geoffrey Blandon to be nothing more than a first-degree blackguard and calls on Captain Harry Cathcart, the impoverished younger son of a baron, to investigate. After Harry brings forth evidence of Blandon's dishonorable intentions, a scandalous public breakup follows. To redeem her name, Rose attends the last-chance soirée at Telby Castle for aristocratic women with dubious matrimonial prospects. But when a malicious guest is found dead under strange circumstances, Rose becomes far more intrigued with discovering the truth than with landing a suitor. From Telby Castle's whisper-filled corridors to country lanes with secrets at every turn, Harry and Rose must unravel a web of lies, rumors, and perilous plots as a clever murderer sets out to make Rose's disastrous season her last. .

The Official Guide to Wine Snobbery (A Cult Classic)
Hailed as the most entertaining reference to wine culture, The Official Guide to Wine Snobbery arms readers with valuable knowledge of wine etiquette, while identifying those senseless acts of snobbery that often lead to embarrassing situations. Included in this book are tips for discreet palate cleansing, a list of "In" and "Out" wines, and the very surprising outcome of a blind tasting in which California vintages proved superior to some highly regarded French labels. Wine books are generally interested in the soil content of the Napa Valley, endless vintage charts, and everything else that is boring about the making and drinking of wine. This book satirizes the pomposity of wine drinking. Leonard Bernstein separates the enthusiast from the snob in this humorous guide to high-brow wine etiquette. From the ritual of cork sniffing, to the act of sending back a bottle, the wine snob is exposed and explained with sharp wit and insight. With 150,000 copies of its original printing sold internationally, this classic book is once again available to wine lovers around the world..
