Emily Post's Etiquette. This item is unavailable.Emily Post's Etiquette

A seminal work in etiquette and personal relations, Emily Post’s Etiquette pioneered many social networking concepts still popular today. Addressing a variety of topics ranging from how to conduct oneself when meeting strangers to how one should behave at formal dinners and engagements, Post offers a wide range of advice that still resonates in social circles today.

In 1922, Emily Post came out with the definitive book on etiquette. To celebrate its 75th anniversary, her great-granddaughter-in-law Peggy Post has updated and revised the opus into an 845-page 16th edition that takes modern conundrums and lifestyles into account. If you're wondering when to put a napkin in your lap and which foods may be eaten with fingers, the information's still there. But situations Emily never dreamed of--matters of e-mail, cellular phones, step parents, fourth weddings, and in-line skating--are considered with the same grace that made Emily the last word on civility in the 1920s.
