Summary: A manual for manners in this modern day and age...
Comment: I find this book to be a valuable tool to help navigate the often-complex world in which we live. It provides guidance in a whole host of areas, from gracious dining to the business world, from protocol for visiting the Pope to dealing with employees in your home. It covers a broad spectrum of situations, and helps to ensure that the right decisions are made, and that behavior is polite and proper.
The book is broken down into the following sections: Formalities; Your Personal Life; Your Professional Life; Communications; Travel & Tipping; Entertaining and Entertainments; Celebrations and Ceremonies; Gifts, Giving, & Thank-Yous; and Weddings. Each section offers tips and suggestions for making relations between you and others go as smoothly as possible. In this fast-paced world, we need manners more than ever, if only to ensure that life remains civilized, and this book helps determine the best way to proceed if you're unsure. All in all a wonderful reference for anyone who ever has to deal with another human being either socially or professionally. Don't hesitate, buy it!

Summary: Don't think you'll need this? Think again.
Comment: I have owned a current edition of Emily Post's Etiquette since I was in high school. In fact, I bought the 16th edition so quickly after it came out that I became the owner of a signed first edition and didn't realize it for almost a year. What a comfort to see new subjects addressed! It was high time for this revision. My mother was the first person to impress the importance of manners upon me. At first I thought what most people think - that the situations described in this book don't happen to most people. Once I had attended my first formal dinner, I sure was glad I knew what to do with all those glasses and pieces of silverware...after all, this was something my lower middle-class upbringing had not prepared me for. This is also a great reference for everyday occurrences, such as writing a thank-you note (there IS an art to this) and communicating with your boss. Every home should have one, so at least if an unfamiliar situation does crop up the tools to prepare for it are at your fingertips. If you think no one notices the nuances of behavior, you're wrong.

Summary: Manual to good etiquette
Comment: This book has great suggestions on everything from how to correctly crack lobsters, to how to use silverware, and what to expect and do when going to a Buddhist temple, Hindu temple, or a synagogue.
It tells what should happen to gifts given during an engagement that is broken off, suggestions for brunch menus, and includes a large section on wedding ettiquette. It also provides a good deal of information about traditional customs.
The size of the book is rather cumbersome, so it would be best used as a reference manual.
