Customer Reviews

exactly what i was looking for!

I really enjoyed this book. It is exactly what i was looking for. there are a few recipes but mostly this whole book is dedicated to the etiquette of serving or attending tea. well written in a sense that it does not talk down to you- rather an enlightenment of the proper way to enjoy tea. a great read!

Finally a book with everything...

I am starting a small catering business doing tea parties! This book is perfect! It has everything you always wanted to know about preparing, enjoying and serving tea. From the different types of tea from Cream Tea to High Tea and what to do with the tea bag after you've taken it out of your tea cup. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to serve and to enjoy a proper afternoon of tea. Thank you for being so thorough.

Good Reference on tea entertainment

I find this book very useful and informative. The author presents the material in a concise and down to earth manner. The etiquette portion of this book contains do's and do not's that leaves no questions. The tone of the book is conversational just like the topic it explains. If you are thinking about having a tea party for the first time or attending to one, this book is a must read!

An excellent guide for etiquette in the 90's.

This book is an excellent follow-up to Mrs. Johnson's miniature book "The Little Book of Etiquette". It primarily focuses on etiquette in the tea room, but it also discusses everyday etiquette as well as business etiquette. This is an easy to understand, user-friendly book. A must for anyone who loves to take tea.

You Don't Need to be Miss Manners to Like This Book!

What a useful book! This book did not talk down to me, nor did I feel like I had to be a Miss Manners to enjoy this book. It helped me plan a wedding shower for my sister; every quest complimented me after and wanted a copy of the book.
