Just preordered over at Amazon.com both True Prep and Take Ivy. I loved the Official Preppy Handbook and remember buying it here in D.C. during the summer that I worked on the Hill.
It was fun to read the kitschy-campy take on such a staid-code ridden world. I’m sure that True Prep will be fun but not nearly as much so as the original. Kinda like the second time I saw the Doobie Brothers. Even with Michael McDonald, they were good but it wasn’t the same as the first time.

Take Ivy…as I think Tucker or maybe Tintin posited…those of you who have the original edition and want to get the proverbial big bucks for it, you better sell it now before the new edition lands in the distribution warehouse at Amazon. I remember the original Take Ivy volume going for crazy money on eBay.
Speaking of crazy money, I owned eleven pristine volumes of Apparel Arts once upon a time. Sold them to pay the lawyers. The above cover shot was stolen from Tintin.
Onward-voluminouslyesque…ADG
