Book Description
One Thousand Mustaches is a fun romp through the history of the moustache. After decades of being much maligned in Western culture, the moustache is enjoying a cultural renaissance, thanks to the annual phenomenon of Movember (when men grow facial hair during November to raise funds for prostate cancer research) and the retro/modern mo’s sported by the likes of Ryan Gosling and James Franco. One Thousand Mustaches is both a light-hearted cultural history and a style manual for those with mo’s as well as those who love `em.
