Other reviews have noted that the cultural styles of the Yuppie Handbook are, thirty-odd years later, so mainstream as to seem totally natural.

It's odd to think about finding foodie obsessions and minimalist interiors strange or funny here in the Year Seventeen, when we take those things as givens for the educated, cultured, urban upper-middle class and as perfectly ordinary aspirations for middle-middles.

Anyway--- funny, witty, and a look back at how contemporary class attitudes formed.
