Take Ivy, by Shosuke Ishizu, Toshiyuki Kurosu, Hajime Hasegawa, and Teruyoshi Hayashida

This is the kind of book that makes me want to have a coffee table.
.
Unfortunately I only drink coffee at cafes, as my skills as a barista are limited to the extent my Mother won't even let me create her one teaspoon instant, one tsp sugar and a third of hot water and fill with milk; that and despite being in an excellent inner city location, I have usually knocked back my latte before I walk into the door.



Essentially this book is filled with young American men who attend Ivy League Schools in America. So my guess is that they are rather intelligent. These young men are also the type who are impeccably dressed in a style that is distinctive enough to have set thousands of young Japanese baby boomers into imitating "prep" that the original publication of this book is not only referred to as a fashion "bible" by some, but has also collected over $2000 on ebay sales!

Hopefully those people that paid $2000 preferred the Japanese version over English, otherwise when it gets re-released onto Amazon for $30 at the end of the month- they are going to regret not purchasing their Burberry Plaid.
