In this classic work by the renowned wit and pundit whom the
"New York Times" has lauded as "one of America's foremost arbiters
of taste and mores . . . an acclaimed expert on what was highbrow,
what was lowbrow, and what was no brow at all," the inimitable
Russell Lynes flaunts (rather snobbishly, perhaps) his unparalleled
expertise on all things snobbish. Since the Social Snob--with his
raised nostrils and air of intolerable intolerance--has long since
gone underground, it falls to a true connoisseur to identify the
myriad faces of snobbery. Whether it be the Regional, Political, or
Moral Snob, the Sensual or Sex Snob, or that most virulent of
genus, the Reverse or Anti-Snob Snob, Lynes shines an illuminating
light that will enable us to more easily recognize the pervasive
pretentiousness surrounding us . . . and perhaps "within" us as
well.
