I am personally offended by this book because my mustache wasn't included. However, I endorse it because I am, and always will be, a huge fan of Tom Selleck's 'stache."

--Meredith Vieira, The Today Show

If a man has a mustache, it's hands-down his most distinguishable facial feature. Whether it's a handlebar, pencil-thin, fu Manchu, toothbrush, or horseshoe--it's how's he's identified and described. This book recognizes this fact and celebrates the most famous mustaches--and the faces behind them. From politicians and ball players to pop stars and actors, this book covers them all with wit and humor. Authors Jon Chattman and Rich Tarantino have provided profiles and 'stache-analysis for the forty-nine men and one woman who made the cut. (One can't count out Frida Kahlo's artistic bigote!) It also includes sidebar lists that rank the top 'staches in all sorts of categories as well as mustache trivia and a timeline that traces the facial hair's evolution. It's hip again to rock full on facial hair. And Sweet 'Stache is the guide for anyone looking to get in on the must-have mustache action.

Great book about the great 'staches of the world. Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott ought to win Oscar's for their burts!

I haven't read the book (it looks awesome), but the other review for this is quite simply the best literary critique ever penned.

After two books about WW2, it was time for some light reading. My old friend and pop culture muse Jon Chattman has co-authored the new book 'Sweet Stache, available at Amazon. It is the definitive guide to the power of mustaches in our pop culture.

Chattman and his collaborator Rich Tarantino have compiled a list of the 50 most influential mustaches from all walks of public life. What made this such a fun read was the diversity of both the types of mustaches represented and also the people sporting them. How else could Walt Disney be linked to Gandhi linked to Larry Bird linked to Yanni? Only through the mystique of the stache!

Each write-up has some interesting trivia about the person and their fuzz too. Additionally, through the use of bonus lists, almost every famous stache imaginable is included. Except one. The omission of Watergate burglar Gordon Liddy's virile mustache was disappointing. But Sam Elliot's bert landing a perfect 10 redeemed the book! This is a very fun read.
