Etiquette: The Original Guide to Conduct in Society, Business, Home, and More

My mother and I enjoyed reading this book together and refreshing ourselves on proper etiquette. It was a great bonding experience and we really enjoyed the book.

I am an avid book reader. This book has so many gems that has guided me in life! It is a recommended read!

It's good to know the old-school manners. I learned about this book from the Celebrity PA Network website, and I wanted to brush up on my etiquette because I'm a personal assistant for a high-net-worth employer.

This book promotes kindness, politeness, and appropriateness as a lifestyle. The situations, of course, are entirely outmoded -- almost 100 years old -- but an intelligent reader can read between the lines to discern the appropriate, polite, and kind way to behave in contemporary situations. Simply because of my own interests, I particularly like Mrs. Post's observations on style and dress; her comments about fashion are spot-on, even for the 21st century. Because of changes in dress over the course of the 20th century, her list of clothing appropriate for a well-bred man can be used even for a contemporary woman to build her own wardrobe -- with reading between the lines and discernment, of course.

Good product

I loved every bit of it. The way the author speaks immediately grabbed my attention, like if you were to just walk past a celebrity you enjoy, I paid undivided attention through all hours of the night reading this.

The book itself isn't horrible and sets a good foundation for why etiquette and all the actings are important but this is not the original book of etiquette by Emily Post. I did buy the kindle version and that was only $0.99 so that's why I'm not super upset abbout it but again this is technically not what I paid for. The version that I ended up buying was actually by a guy from London who added in his own information to the book.

This book would be kept next to the Bible.

This book was originally published in 1922, so if you intend to buy this on the advertisement that it has been re-written for modern usage, think again. Emily Post's Etiquette, 18 is probably the most recent.Still, if you want to know what was "right to do" post-World War I in America, this is the book to read.

Fantastic book. I have learnt so much.

Not the slightest bit relevant to today, but fun to read and educational to an extent - excellent for digging into when you know that you are going to be interrupted too many times to follow a story!

pleae see star rating, thanks,
