Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Designed by C. Linda Dingler, Illustrations by Jim Cozza (illustrator). 1st Edition. A practical modern guide to dining etiquette from Elizabeth L. Post, the granddaughter-in-law of etiquette authority Emily Post and longtime director of the Emily Post Institute. Written for contemporary readers, the book addresses both traditional table manners and evolving social expectations around dining at home, entertaining guests, and eating in restaurants. Topics include formal and informal place settings, hosting dinners and banquets, navigating restaurant service and tipping, responding to invitations, and handling challenging foods or awkward social situations at the table. The guide combines classic etiquette principles with updated advice suited to late-twentieth-century dining culture, from family meals and buffet service to business lunches and casual entertaining. Numerous diagrams illustrate glassware, place settings, and serving arrangements, making the book both a reference work and a practical handbook for hosts and guests alike.

Elizabeth L. Post (1920-2010) was a leading authority on etiquette and a longtime spokesperson for the Emily Post Institute.

Through her books, lectures, and magazine columns - including Good Housekeeping's 'Etiquette for Everyday' - she helped modernize etiquette guidance for contemporary social life.
