My name is Nora Aguirre, I took a course at NMSU: “Etiquette Dinner”. Dr. Green advised us for buying the Emily Post’s book if you want to learn more about excellent manners in everyplace. Fantastic book!! It is so detail.
This book is tasty reading about a fading trait- manners. In the text and me/me/me world I long for the care and prudence of 1922. Soothing.
Reader’s Rating: 4 / 5
I’ve used the hardback copy since high school! YES, through parties, dating, balls, teas, weddings, thank you notes, setting tables, divorces, writing your congressman, etc. I have to admit I haven’t looked at it in about 10 years, but I reflect it’s a excellent read for anyone. A few manners won’t hurt anyone. I haven’t yet had a chance to see my kindle version and from what I’ve read there’s no pointer. Are you SURE? Sometime you have to go back to the take in and thumb through page by page to see the Pointer. If none, that is certainly a drawback since one needs to be able to go to the right theme as the occasion occurs. Then I’d recommend an updated version – especially if you are young (13 and up) and just “beginning life”.
Reader’s Rating: 4 / 5
So glad this was a free book. With no way to navigate to a point topic it is very hard to use. The information is SO outdated that it is useful only as research of how people used to behave in “polite” society. Not at all realistic for today.

This item is a practical book, that anyone interested in excellent ancient-fashioned etiquette would appreciate, especially in this quick and furious age of communication.
