There are a million different translations. Which would you recommend? I am told Mansfield's is the most "scholarly."

Just get the cheapest.

You'll realize quickly that the most insightful read you've ever found on America was written by a French aristocrat on a prison tour 180 years ago, while he was in his mid-twenties. You've still got a few years to write something as monumental

I know he mentions table manners. Not sure if he addresses clothes.
