Animated comedy series "Archer" is a wittily raunchy spy spoof ("Entertainment Weekly") with a cult following. Set at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), suave master spy Sterling Archer deals with global espionage; a domineering, hypersexual, late middle-aged mother/boss, Malory Archer; his ex-girlfriend, Agent Lana Kane; her ISIS accountant boyfriend Cyril Figgis; and, a less-than-masculine code name: Duchess. Stylistically, the show is a mix of the '60s and modern cultures and the book will follow closely with more than 100 colour illustrations from the show. Tentative Outline: Personal Style - you should be spending more on clothes, the importance of a personal tailor, are two buttons one too many, fragrance - Bay Rum or nothing, and Valet vs. Butler; Food and Drink - taste like a spy, the many uses of Greek yogurt, Scotch and Gummi Bears, the Breakfast of Champions, and Men are from Martinis, Women from Vodka; Transportation - how to drive drunk (which you should never do), under the hood, and cool cars and why I drive a Challenger; and, Women - tips for getting ladies (Kinda like "The Game" but not as shitty), pick-up lines in various languages, and you Don't Have to Put on the Red Light - escorts and you. Also to be included: The Sterling Sutra, Archer's favorite weapons and fighting techniques, and more.

Aside from a handful of recycled phrases and references to previous episodes, this book does not feel like authentic Archer at all. The author is far too verbose and well researched (via Wikipedia) to be able to properly convey the sense of entitlement, sheer luck and misogyny which makes Archer... Archer.
It's a fun book to read if you want a very light overview of espionage work, and if you have a stomach for some more salubrious pastimes (which get a little too much coverage here) but ultimately it's derivative and unappetising.
Avoid unless you're a hardcore fan, especially for the Kindle version which requires switching from footnote to page repeatedly, and on Kindle Touch will cause you to open the menu/flip pages while trying to follow those footnote links too.

The perfect guide for any man on how to be the best spy since James Bond. A good fun read, especially if you're obsessed with the series.
