No-one buys a book on etiquette unless there is a question about what to do and how to behave in unfamiliar situations, and so did I. Once that is understood, I found it helpful that Emily Post wrote her book to be accessible for information and situation and used it as i needed. Since that time, I have referenced it as needed and it has been able to show me what to do and what would be expected of me and others in various social interactions. I bought the kindle version and it has a good navigation system and not too many spelling mistakes (which irk me to the point of distraction when they are frequent in digital renditions).
Good quality conversion to Kindle format, including the line drawings. It's also interesting to read, as she has chosen to display the rules of etiquette for the time period by creating characters that continue to show up throughout the book. Its an enjoyable peek back at an earlier time period with strict rules - many of which no longer apply.Although written with 1920 in mind, there is still a lot in this book that is somewhat applicable when it comes to manners and dress (i.e., good manners are never out of fashion, good quality items are the best to have, etc)
Etiquette is often ignored. This book reinforces good etiquette.
No one knows etiquette like Ms. Post! Very much enjoyed historical perspective.
This should be a school textbook in general and especially in business. It's alright to be a shark in business but if you are not willing to consider the other person you will loose in the worst ways. Be the shark that everyone loves to feed. Read this book! You can never go wrong with Emily Post!
