Do you look like a Barbie when firing up the barbi? Is your Iron John act a little rusty? When you give her flowers, do you come across as a weed?

If you want to know about stuff, play with boys' toys, or even just fake it (hell, even Brando appeared in a musical), HOW TO MOW THE LAWN is the indispensable companion for the rigours awaiting 21st-century man.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Funny Guide for Everyman - With serious Tips, 2 Feb 2004
This is a hilarious, clever book that is perfect for poking gentle fun at the man in your life, whether dad, husband, or brother. The book is done in a 50's style that makes it even more fun to peruse.

It shouldn't be the least bit surprising that Sam Martin, author of How to Mow the Lawn: The Lost Art of Being a Man, is a Texan. Because even if Texas has a tendency to churn out really crummy presidents, its genteel ethos is, for better or for worse, one of the last remaining bastions of homestyle decency. Lawn's step-by-step guidelines offer insight, often very funny insight on how to do such manly things as shaving and get into a girl's bedroom (you don't necessarily have to make it all the way to the bedroom). Don't expect to read this book and know how to care for a lawn. It is basically a bunch of 1 page tips and suggestions on what the author thinks a man should know. I like a lot of them, and think that it's well worth a buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm ashamed to say it, but..., 30 Aug 2006
By Stephen Collins (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
...I often find this book really useful, even though it is meant to be humorous. It is actually pretty funny, with some great illustrations, but if I think about it, the stuff like shaving properly, DIY etc has actually changed the way I do things for the better. Hemce writing this review. Oh, and the CPR/heimlich tips are serious stuff, worth absorbing. More than just a joke book.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Mow the Lawn By Sam Martin, 11 Jun 2009
A truly excellent reference book for any bloke. Lots of handy hints for everyone from lads to grandads. This book is on the top of my list for when friends get married, buy a new house etc.

Very well written as it appeals to men while not offending ladies. I leave my copy on the bedside table for my guests to read and the only comment I get is "Where did you get this book?"
