Not Meant to be Taken Seriously

I wonder if the original reviewer has read this book. I see no reason for such outrage. :) I was given a hardcover copy of this book as a gift and found it to be an amusing reprint of vintage etiquette, NOT a modern book trying to get women not to swear! I would love to give it as a gift, as I received it, and would choose as the recipient a woman with a sense of humor about social niceties/feminism or someone who enjoys vintage books. This is a "reprint of the 1933 "Modern Debutante's Bible" of jazz-age etiquette." (Alibris)
