The Manny - Holly Peterson ... Cosmopolitans. Then Manolos and the Birkin bag. Now the Manhattan working mums bring you the new must -have accessory; the Manny Jamie Whitfield is a rarity among the sleek and chic of 'The Grid' -- the exclusive blocks of the Upper East Side where it's all about keeping up with the Vanderbilts.

long out-of-print, exquisite edition limited run, liable to run out quickly, expensive

Chippindale, Peter - Horrie, Chris

Hilarious, Exceedingly warm and well-written, Will keep you up at night turning pages! None!

Well written story, well developed characters, a great read I found it a little tough to get into
