The Jane Austen Insult Guide for Well-Bred Women

'Let us have the luxury of silence.' 

'I send no compliments to your mother.'

'I am worn out with civility.' 

If you find yourself in need of the perfect put-down, look no further: here, lifted from the literary oeuvre of the formidable Miss Austen, are some of the sharpest, wittiest and most elegantly crafted insults ever to have been deployed. Helpfully designated for every occasion and target, chapters point you to cold words for Idiots, Annoying People, Bad Dates and more. Objects of your disaffection will wither in your wake. A great gift for Jane-ites who wish to sharpen their verbal scorn skills.
