For the first time in its history, this American classic
has been completely rewritten. Peggy Post gives us etiquette
for today's times. Read by millions since the first edition
was published in 1922, Emily Post -- the most trusted name
in etiquette -- has always been there to help people
navigate every conceivable social situation. The tradition
continues with this 100 percent revised and updated edition,
which covers the formal, the traditional, the contemporary,
and the casual.
Based on thousands of reader
questions, surveys conducted on the Emily Post Institute and
Good Housekeeping Web sites, and Peggy's travels across the
country, the book shows how to handle the new, difficult,
unusual, and everyday situations we all encounter. The
definition of etiquette -- a code of behavior based on
thoughtfulness -- has not changed since Emily's day. The
etiquette guidelines we use to smooth the way change all the
time.
This new edition resolves hundreds of our key
etiquette concerns: dealing with rudeness, netiquette,
noxious neighbors, road rage, family harmony, on-line
dating, cell phone courtesy, raising respectful children and
teens, and travel etiquette in the post-9/11 world...to name
just a few.
Emily Post's Etiquette, 17th
Edition also remains the definitive source for timeless
advice on entertaining, social protocol, table manners,
guidelines for religious ceremonies, expressing condolences,
introductions, how to be a good houseguest and host,
invitations, correspondence, planning a wedding, giving a
toast, and sportsmanship.
Peggy Post's advice gives
us the confidence of knowing we're doing the right thing so
we can relax and enjoy the moment and move more easily
through our world. Emily Post's Etiquette, 17th
Edition will be the resource of choice for years to come.
