We’re excited to announce the release of The Art of Manliness Collection Boxed Set. Our publisher has taken our two books, The Art of Manliness: Classic Skills and Manners for the Modern Man and Manvotionals: Timeless Wisdom and Advice on Living the 7 Manly Virtues, put them in a handsome-looking cigar box along with some coasters bearing manly iconography and quotes to create a virile boxed book collection for the ages.

The Art of Manliness Collection Boxed Set has almost everything you need for an evening of manful pondering. Just open up the box, pick out a coaster to place your scotch tumbler (or craft soda bottle) on, pick up a book, and begin reading it whilst sitting in your leather chair.

Check out the unboxing of The Art of Manliness Collection Boxed Set below:

The Art of Manliness Collection Boxed Set is the perfect gift for graduation or Father’s Day. Or give it to yourself for being so awesomely manly. This box o’ manliness releases on March 30th (Amazon says May 2. Ignore). The collection is only $19.79! Amazingly, it’s actually more expensive to buy both books separately. Plus, you’re getting the box and some awesome coasters, too!

Preorder a set today so it arrives at your door by March 30. This is a limited edition collection, so order soon before supplies run out.

1702 danny April 3, 2012 at 9:49 pm

1703 josh April 3, 2012 at 9:55 pm

give it to my grandpa who has taught me all i know

1704 Thomas April 3, 2012 at 10:11 pm

As a college student, this site has been one of my favorite resources, and even inspired me to purchase my own straight razor shaving kit

1705 Will April 3, 2012 at 10:40 pm

I’d keep it.

1706 Ali April 3, 2012 at 10:44 pm

Currently have a 1/1705=.05% chance of getting this…

1707 Josh April 3, 2012 at 11:02 pm

I’m keeping it. The more manliness in my house, the better.

1708 Carter April 3, 2012 at 11:12 pm

Give it to my brother in law

1709 Matthew H April 3, 2012 at 11:39 pm

I plan to keep it, but heavily suggest it to friends/family to read. I’ll give it to my son/daughter when the time comes.

1710 Nathan Putrich April 4, 2012 at 12:14 am

As a young man looking to pursue the fine traits of a gentleman in virtuous character and honorable manner, this book would be a fine addition to my life. I have been searching for something along this line for a while, and it is exciting to have finally hit the preverbal gold-mine.

1711 Drew April 4, 2012 at 1:08 am

Keep it

1712 Josh April 4, 2012 at 1:18 am

I would love to give this to my father for his 49th birthday coming up on the 9th.

At least I have a chance!

1713 DKo April 4, 2012 at 2:13 am

keeping it

1714 John K April 4, 2012 at 2:34 am

I would keep it and actually share it with my girlfriend who enjoys this site a lot.

1715 Matt April 4, 2012 at 2:37 am

Give it to my best friend who is due to be a father soon to a son.

1716 Hiroki Yanagihara April 4, 2012 at 4:14 am

I would give to my father who inspired me to be a better man. I’ll never forget when he said to me, as a surly and often mouthy teenager growing:

“I never cared if you grew up to be a champion football player, the best in your class, or a casanova that’d bring home the prettiest girls. All I wanted you to be was a good man. If I’m hard on you, it’s because I know you can be better.”

That made an impression on me.

1717 Ryan April 4, 2012 at 4:50 am

Seriously, when does this come out? Obviously not March 30th like it says here.

I’m happy with buying it. I’d just like to know when the one I bought through your Amazon link is going to ship.

1718 Dan April 4, 2012 at 6:12 am

I’d keep it, looks very promising. I want!

1719 Gebak April 4, 2012 at 9:12 am

I would keep it and read it myself first then give it to other people to spread the manliness in the world.

1720 Andrew April 4, 2012 at 9:59 am

I am already a proud owner of the two fine books included in this handsome package, so I will be giving this gift-wrapped to my good friend Ryan.

Ryan is indeed no stranger to manliness, having worked for years for the Federal Reserve as a bank examiner, doing his part to place the shattered America financial sector back on workable tracks. He was recently voted by his peers to be employee of the year, an honor well deserved for his fairness to all and dedication to his duty.
He and his wife just recently discovered he will indeed soon be a father and their hopes for children have come true.

I’m sure he would love to own this collection, and would gleam moral strength, an expanded knowledge base, and constructive entertainment from it’s pages.

Andrew

1721 Christopher Pegram April 4, 2012 at 10:13 am

I’d keep it, and occasionally let other people who need to see it borrow it. But ultimately I’ll give it to my future son just in case the Internet melts down in the future, and he needs to learn The art of manliness with out aid of a computer, or the internet.

1722 Michael April 4, 2012 at 10:16 am

I would probably give it to my dad on his birthday. I think he would like the box and coasters especially.

1723 Robert Cox April 4, 2012 at 11:03 am

I would give this gift to my friend, Sterling. Not that he has not the attributes of manliness, but to remind him of the man that his mother helped shape and mold into being.

1724 Bruno H. April 4, 2012 at 11:10 am

I’ll keep it, but lend the books for some friends, of course…

1725 Caleb April 4, 2012 at 11:19 am

I would keep this box next to my pipe collection. What a perfect combination!

1726 Mike M. April 4, 2012 at 11:56 am

I plan on keeping it myself.

1727 Matthew L. April 4, 2012 at 12:38 pm

I would plan to keep it and share the knowledge I would gather from it.

1728 John G. April 4, 2012 at 1:08 pm

keep it

1729 Kevin Clark April 4, 2012 at 1:54 pm

Definitely keep it, then pass it on to my newbirn son when he is old enough to transition from boy to man.

1730 Lee G April 4, 2012 at 3:02 pm

I would keep the set and finally be able to read all of the greatness with a drink resting a near by table.

1731 John W April 4, 2012 at 3:30 pm

I’ll keep it, thank you.

1732 Brandon April 4, 2012 at 3:34 pm

I don’t necessarily need the free give away as I just ordered a bunch to give away to my groomsmen and other close guy friends… has anyone else successfully ordered from Amazon? I know the post says to ignore the May 2nd release date but I’m a little nervous about that… I need it to get here before next week!

1733 Eric April 4, 2012 at 3:41 pm

I would definitely keep it, but it would makes its way into the hands of my good friends from time to time.

1734 matt April 4, 2012 at 3:46 pm

id keep this, great display piece for the end table. i dont know what it is about that spot, but everyone who sits next to that end tale always picks up whatever magazine happens to be there.

1735 David Raney April 4, 2012 at 3:58 pm

I would keep it. But maybe let some guys borrow it from time to time.

1736 Ethan April 4, 2012 at 4:15 pm

I’d bring it with me to college and be a boss

1737 Steve April 4, 2012 at 4:20 pm

I would love to have this to read and keep to give to my son down the line. I feel as thought this would be a great gift to keep in the family for generations to come. I hope I win!!!

1738 Craig April 4, 2012 at 4:45 pm

Keep it, but I would loan out the books to my manly man friends from time to time.

1739 Adam April 4, 2012 at 4:50 pm

I plan to keep it. But if I love it I’ll buy 10 more for my groomsmen and ushers at my upcoming wedding.

1740 Kevin Erickson April 4, 2012 at 4:57 pm

Definitely going to keep it and read it.

1741 Brandon April 4, 2012 at 5:04 pm

I’d keep it and learn from it. I love this website so this collection would be great!

1742 Sam April 4, 2012 at 5:25 pm

I would keep it. Even if I don’t win, I will probably buy one for me and my brothers. Keep up the great work!

1743 Joshua April 4, 2012 at 6:09 pm

I plan to keep it for myself. I need some manly stuff in my life right now.

1744 evan April 4, 2012 at 6:58 pm

I’d keep it for myself!

1745 Ido Azaria April 4, 2012 at 6:58 pm

I will keep it and use it wisely.
It’s not so common to meet a gentleman in these parts (Israel).

1746 Emmett April 4, 2012 at 7:29 pm

Yeah id read it and let others borrow it when im done and spread the manliness

1747 Cameron Miller April 4, 2012 at 7:50 pm

I’ll keep it myself, and pass it on to my future son.

1748 DJ April 4, 2012 at 8:07 pm

I would really really love the books

1749 Jonathan April 4, 2012 at 8:09 pm

I’ll hold onto it for myself until my son heads off into the world: he’ll have need of them then, since hopefully i’ll have already begun living it.

1750 Dugan April 4, 2012 at 8:16 pm

I’d keep it

1751 Tommy April 4, 2012 at 8:17 pm

I would read them and then share them with my dad. Then use the coasters when we have cocktails together.

1752 D. Becker April 4, 2012 at 8:17 pm

I wouldn’t mind one

1753 Joe April 4, 2012 at 8:18 pm

I would love one for my son.

1754 John Beddall April 4, 2012 at 8:21 pm

I will use it in my weekly meeting with 35-40 young men. I am an RA at a small school in southern Missouri, AoM has become a great source for info and inspiration in my day to day operation. I really enjoy sharing what I find on your website with the young men on my floor.

1755 John Beddall April 4, 2012 at 8:21 pm

1756 Abraham April 4, 2012 at 8:32 pm

1757 Benjamin Gow-Lee April 4, 2012 at 9:12 pm

I’d keep it. It looks like a great set!

1758 Jeff April 4, 2012 at 9:31 pm

I’d read it, learn from it, and give it to a close friend to pass on the knowledge.

1759 jfisch April 4, 2012 at 9:47 pm

I’m keeping it at the house, but it will stay on the coffee table. Yeah baby.

1760 Henry April 4, 2012 at 9:47 pm

Back in the glory of the set and learn from it myself.

1761 Jeremy April 4, 2012 at 9:55 pm

These will be kept and passed on to my sons.

1762 Jeremy April 4, 2012 at 9:56 pm

These will be kept and passed on to my sons

1763 Jasmine April 4, 2012 at 9:58 pm

I’d give it to my boyfriend. There are some things that I, as a woman, can’t fully convey to him (like fashion advice; I don’t know the first thing about men’s clothing!). But I know he can learn more easily if he hears (or reads) such advice from other men.

Also, I enjoy pictures of men with mustaches, so I may borrow the set back from him to appreciate the manly glory. :P

1764 Daniel Barnett April 4, 2012 at 10:47 pm

I’d love to give the boxed set to a younger friend of mine, to whom I’ve been a sort of mentor in the ways of the gentleman over the last several years. (In fact, one of the first steps I took was introducing him to The Art of Manliness!) I know he’d love this handsome boxset, and I’d appreciate the opportunity to give him the leg-up, so to speak.

1765 Rene April 4, 2012 at 10:53 pm

I’ll probably keep it… i like books

1766 Adam April 4, 2012 at 11:00 pm

I would definitely be keeping it, seems like a nice set and then I could re-gift the Manvotionals book I got for my birthday.

1767 Michael M. April 4, 2012 at 11:30 pm

I’ll probably keep it since it’s a handsome box and I haven’t read the 2nd book yet.

1768 Mathew S. April 4, 2012 at 11:38 pm

I have the Kindle editions, but I would love the hard copies complete with the box and sweet coasters. One day, it could become the perfect family heirloom.

1769 Michael H April 5, 2012 at 12:52 am

I swore to myself that I wouldn’t purchase anything (including the AoM books) until I got a job. Well, new job has been acquired (starting next week!) and I’m ready to jump into some serious Manvotionals :)

1770 Dylan April 5, 2012 at 1:02 am

I’d keep it for myself

1771 Tom R April 5, 2012 at 1:34 am

Keep it as I head on from college into the professional world.

1772 Jon Johnston April 5, 2012 at 1:39 am

I will give it to my son. When he gets older.

1773 Jon Johnston April 5, 2012 at 1:43 am

That will make a nice gift for my son. After I read the books.

1774 PORFIRIO April 5, 2012 at 4:01 am

I’ll keep it, Still looking to fill my absent dad’s shoes.

1775 kyle ian April 5, 2012 at 4:16 am

im only 25 but im into the whole old fashion gent role this would be an awesome addition to my life

1776 Sperling April 5, 2012 at 8:53 am

Definitely keep it… Always looking for ways to make myself a more thoughtful person and better citizen in my community…

1777 Don April 5, 2012 at 9:12 am

Giving them to boys I mentor, and keeping one for myself.

1778 Philip Honnold April 5, 2012 at 9:50 am

My brother turns 16 this upcoming Sunday, April 8th. He’s asked for only things befitting a man; a wallet, a good pocket knife, etc. I’d give these books to him at the drop of a hat.

1779 Brandon April 5, 2012 at 10:11 am

I think I would give it to my roommate. He’s very dishonest, and he cheats on his girlfriend. I want to show him that there is another way to be a man, one that has honor and respect.

1780 Caleb April 5, 2012 at 10:36 am

I’d keep it. The more manly, the better.

1781 Dan Detwiler April 5, 2012 at 10:39 am

This will be the perfect addition to my den. Thank you for creating such a classy collection!

1782 Ryan Hopkins April 5, 2012 at 10:47 am

Keep it. This much awesomeness can only be wielded by myself.

1783 Ryan Hopkins April 5, 2012 at 10:47 am

Keep it.

1784 Patrick April 5, 2012 at 12:28 pm

Give it to my friend. He could use a good education in manliness.

1785 Igor April 5, 2012 at 12:49 pm

keep it

1786 Curt April 5, 2012 at 1:20 pm

I would give it to my Sons. I try hard to give a good example to them but it seems that a third party is always listed to a bit more. No one is a profit in their own land.

1787 Philip April 5, 2012 at 1:47 pm

I’d keep it for myself and pass it down to my son when he’s old enough to appreciate it properly.
