You have to admire the French. First of all, there’s Coco Chanel and Brie. On the other hand, there’s Napoleon and the smell of Brie. This is better explained in the Personalised Haynes Explains “The French” Manual, here to help anyone understand French culture, cuisine and why the French believe they are always right. Clearly written by a Brit, this tongue-in-cheek guide is drunk with humour, (probably not Bourgeon, but perhaps a stout ale) and will make the old produce a glistening tear whilst the young will wonder, what on earth did the French ever do for Brits to write this?
It’s perfectly suitable for any individual who enjoys a bit of superior toilet humour. The book itself even features their name on the cover, along the top of each page and also features a message from yours truly on the opening page. Do with this what you will, or why not tell them there are manuals on Americans and Germans? After all, Haynes has taken the automotive world by storm. Now, they’re globe-trotting and no stone is left unturned. There’s even a manual on the British…

I think my grandson will love this book. As he lives in China I am not able to send heavy items to him and his sisters for their birthdays so books are always welcome. He is besotted with dinosaurs so I am sure he will be amazed that his name is in a story all of his own!

Disappointed
The book came & it is for my dad who is 88. The print in the book is extremely small & not very clear. I can hardly read it so I’m not sure if he will be able to. Not worth the money and very disappointed with this.
