These are changing times, and here is the new encyclopedia
of manners to guide us confidently and correctly through the
maze of lifestyles, customs, and ways of relating to others
that hallmark this decade. Much of the information in this
book is new, because many of the situations it discusses
have not existed as social norms before. Letitia
Baldrige is uniquely qualified to offer this timely advice.
Universally recognized as the country's leading authority on
manners and social relationships, she has been hailed on the
cover of Time magazine as "America's leading arbiter of
manners" and is regularly celebrated for the same expertise
in the media. Ms. Baldrige's book provides authoritative
answers to questions about manners no one has had to ask
before. Among them, the protocol involved in all the new
family relationships -- stepfamilies, adult children
returning home, and elderly parents moving in; child
visitation problems and other complications of divorce; the
new codes concerning sex and dating and women taking the
initiative romantically; and men and women traveling
together on business. She provides unique counsel on rearing
children to say "no" to drugs, alcohol, and other
destructive temptations and to have the exemplary manners
that lead to success. The book is also a complete
updated guide to everything you need to know to handle the
traditional rites and passages of life in line with current
thinking (much of which is different from that of the past).
This includes detailed information on weddings, funerals,
and religious ceremonies; entertaining any number of people
-- from one to one thousand; today's table manners, table
setting, and table service; etiquette at work; proper forms
of address for these times; and everything you need to know
to converse easily in person or on the telephone, to write
appropriate letters and notes for every occasion, and much
more. These are real manners for real people in today's
complex world. Letitia Baldrige calls them "manners from the
heart," and if you have such manners, the world will be with
you.
