Lovely! September 9, 2008
I was not disappointed with this purchase. It's really a veritable encyclopedia of social standards. There is a large (large) section pertaining to wedding etiquette, but plenty of useful, pertinent, information pertaining to other arenas of social interaction. The material is presented in a pleasant, straightforward (not condescending )manner. I especially like the thumb indexing.
Perfect reference book for all your etiquette questions September 5, 2008
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to look up topics and find answers to my etiquette questions. This book covers so many topics that I had not ever thought about. And it is current with all the new technology (text messaging, cell phones, etc).
Thank Goodness for an Etiquette Reference August 15, 2008
In a time when Blackberry email seems to prevail, it is refreshing to find this excellent source for etiquette in today's world. It has something for everyone, in every situation. I have gifted several women in their 20's and 30's this book -- often as an engagement present -- when they first become aware that a thing called 'etiquette' existed and voiced many questions. No longer can we depend on each generation to pass on the 'right thing to do' to their offspring, in a time when families often don't even sit down to a meal, together, on a daily basis. The book covers a full spectrum of circumstances and certainly takes into account an appropriate place for, yes, even the email fans. It is an excellent source for everyone at every age, and has kept up with the times so as not to be left on the library shelves as a historic keepsake.
