Excellent guide to Anglo society

As an obtuse Yank living in the UK, Debrett's Guide was a "must have" for navigating my way through English society. In a country where people pay close attention to seating order, thank you notes, and all of the other formalities of etiquette, Debrett's is the only way to survive with one's dignity. I don't think it is an essential in the US, as most of the etiquette is too obscure, so as to be irrelevent (i.e., what to wear at Royal Ascot).
