Practical etiquette for the 21st Century

This is a practical etiquette guide for the modern times that we live in. This book gives advice on all kinds of social affairs - from cocktail parties and clambakes to weddings and debutante balls. Topics are covered encylopedia style from A to Z. This is a great alternative to some of the outdated advice in older etiquette books.

Great Reference Book!

This book is wonderfull. Is fast, accurate, readable and easy to understand. I reccomend to everyone who like to know about real manners.

You Can Find What You Need Quickly

The best thing about this book is that it is written alphabetically with the headings in nice big letters so you can find what you want quickly. Ms. Stewart does not overwhelm you with exhausting detail, but gets to the point quickly and efficiently. She covers all the predictable things plus a few extras to reflect the times - homosexuality (actually she says the correct term is gays), manners for children, e-mail etiquette. I'd say she covered it all and I would recommend this book as an easy and informative reference tool. It's fun just to read it for no other reason than it is so enjoyable.
