Review
[O]ne of those books that every man should own. . . . colorful, conversational and easy to read with well-designed pages. . . . What makes "Beyond Soap, Water, and Comb" a great investment is that its recommendations don't cost a lot of money or require a lot of time. -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 2/21/99
