The New Swell's Night Guide was a guidebook on how to appropriately approach actresses and prostitutes. The book had detailed descriptions of the locations (clubs, pubs, etc.) at which prostitutes could be found, in addition to the drawbacks and advantages of each location. The Guide was very blunt and to the point, stating exactly what was to be expected and how the men/women were regarded.
