So time to move on from the somber stuff. I have been itching to write this post since I discovered this new development yesterday! So over a one of my fav blogs Mr. A Tip Down South hosting a vote on which is better, The Official Preppy Handbook or Take Ivy (Of course, I am urging my readers to head on over an vote for TOPH, not that we want to sway the results, do we?) Now what caught my eye was one of the comments on Mr. Trips blog by Classic Curricular Trad which reads:
TOPH's Lisa Birnbach is back with "True Prep":

Umm what was that? Did I read correctly? Of course I am all over the link like a fat kid at a picnic. It basically is this. Ok so now we have established that this is real and its really gonna happen, on August 10th to be specific, mark the calendar, check! But I'm jonesing for more, so over to trusty google for a search that yields This. Now, that's what Im talkin' bout. An adobe view of the front a back cover as well as some of the goodies on the inside. I am so excited! I have already popped over to Amazon to pre-order my copy, as well as planned to have my copy signed when Ms. Birnbach does her Boston book signing (and a little confession, I've already thought about what I would wear... don't you judge me!)
Wow! What a scoop! I still have my original edition and can't wait to see it updated.
ReplyDeleteSweet!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI am not so sure about the new cover, but I am looking forward to the updated edition!
ReplyDeleteHH- I agree, I'm not too thrilled with the cover. I would have loved to see an updated version of the original cover. I'm gonna hold out hope though that the content inside is all that we have been hoping for.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info! The original book transformed my whole life! Can't wait to see how Lisa updated the manifesto!
ReplyDeleteI see where she's coming to my city too...can't wait! Will be fun to take pictures of what everyone's wearing and post them. :)
