The Book of Snobs is a collection of satirical works by William Makepeace Thackeray first published in the magazine Punch as The Snobs of England, By One of Themselves. A collection of satirical works on English society in the mid-19th century and attributed with coining the word snob in its current usage. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for anyone who is a fan of Thackeray or interested in the satire of the age. This humorous study begins with the assertion that ‘Snobs are to be studied like other objects of Natural Science’.. While the word 'snob' had been in use since the end of the 18th century Thackeray's adoption of the term to refer to people who look .down on others who are "socially inferior" quickly gained popularity.
