Peggy Post gives us etiquette for today's times. Read by millions since the first edition was published in 1922, Emily Post—the most trusted name in etiquette—has always been there to help people navigate every conceivable social situation. The tradition continues with this 100 percent revised and updated edition, which covers the formal, the traditional, the contemporary, and the casual. Based on thousands of reader questions, surveys conducted on the Emily Post Institute and Good Housekeeping Web sites, and Peggy's travels across the country, the book shows how to handle the new, difficult, unusual, and everyday situations we all encounter. The definition of etiquette—a code of behavior based on thoughtfulness—has not changed since Emily's day. The etiquette guidelines we use to smooth the way change all the time. This new edition resolves hundreds of our key etiquette concerns: dealing with rudeness, netiquette, noxious neighbors, road rage, family harmony, on-line dating, cell phone courtesy, raising respectful children and teens, and travel etiquette in the post-9/11 world...to name just a few. Emily Post's Etiquette, 17th Edition also remains the definitive source for timeless advice on entertaining, social protocol, table manners, guidelines for religious ceremonies, expressing condolences, introductions, how to be a good houseguest and host, invitations, correspondence, planning a wedding, giving a toast, and sportsmanship. Peggy Post's advice gives us the confidence of knowing we're doing the right thing so we can relax and enjoy the moment and move more easily through our world. Emily Post's Etiquette, 17th Edition will be the resource of choice for years to come. Average Rating:
 Rating: - My reviewi thought that i got this item right on time. i was given an estimated date and it came on that exact date. the condition of the item was great. no problems! Rating: - This is a complete book for the "Good Manners"I recommend this book for everybody: children and adult, mother and father, employee and employer. It's for any occasion in social life: relationships, communication, celebrations, Job, Travel, Leisure... Rating: - Lovely!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. Rating: - Perfect reference book for all your etiquette questionsI 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). Rating: - Thank Goodness for an Etiquette ReferenceIn 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 ... Read More |
