Raise your gin-and-tonic for the arrival of Lisa Birnbach’s True Prep: It’s a Whole New Old World (Knopf), an updated edition of the author’s The Official Preppy Handbook.

So, Muffy, pop your collar and carefully review these examples of the tricky Wasp taxonomy pulled from Vanity Fair’s excerpt of True Prep—and you’ll fit right in!
