    About this ebook

    An essential guide to modern manners, this enlightening and useful book strikes a balance between the stuffy, rigid rules of the 1950s and today's anything-goes school of thought. It is packed with good-humoured advice for the way we live today, but also discusses which formal points of etiquette are still relevant in the 21st century.

      Light-hearted guide to current etiquette and I wish in fact that I'd read it before, because simple and seemingly obvious (in retrospect) social responses could have eased my way in various situations or made me a better guest/host. You might be surprised at what you don't know or cues you've missed too. Easy to read and well-formatted book.

      This one was a disappointment for me.

      It was pretty lame...I was expecting a lot more useful info, instead of mostly general info and glossing over topics.

      Most of the book, about 80%, were just common sense or very basic obvious knowledge to me. Ok, so I was taught good manners by my parents growing up, but I figured I could find some more useful info in this book....unfortunately I didn't.
