Emily Post's Etiquette, 17th Edition, The Definitive Guide to Manners, Completely Revised and Updated, by Peggy Post takes the world of etiquette and boils it down to a comprehensive guide which anyone can understand.
Post, who is Emily's great grand daughter in law, cleverly breaks the volume into sections so that one can turn to what one required at any given time. From how to set a table to how to dress for a wedding, readers will never be steered wrong. This latest publication is written for a modern era. Included are actual questions sent in by readers with Peggy Post's answers. These real life examples help others relate to awkward situations.
Post wisely avoids talking down to her readers, explaining herself when the answer seems to be at odds with what one might more commonly think. She proves that manners still have a high value in today's society.
