This is such a fun book to read. The author experiences life's decadent pleasures and reports on them. For example, having a shirt custom made, the real scoop on caviar, the experience of having shoes custom made. I felt as though I experienced each of the pleasures, without spending the money.

A delicious and delightful read, Mayle has a lovely sensibility to his writing. He is, as ever, friendly, accessible, self-deprecating, and amused.
