, the handbook is a refreshing and funny look at what it takes to join this exclusive clique where the slogan is "the best and nothing less" BAPs come in all shapes and sizes, and from early in life they have schedules that can rival Oprah (a self-made BAP who happens to be listed along with other famous BAPs who were born to their status). Always out to make her parents proud, a BAP strives for excellence. An acceptable list of BAP professions (doctor, lawyer, curator, publicist) is listed as well as a list, of acceptable BAP names (BAP parent would never name their princess after a car or fruit).
