• Etiquette On Call
23 July, 2008
This book is so handy to keep you out of etiquette trouble. The huge etiquette books are terrific references but impossible to carry around on a daily basis. This little book fits in a purse, glove compartment, satchel, etc.

• Perfect Stocking Stuffer
17 June, 2008
Well written and organized. The small size makes it irresistible, everyone wants to pick it up and read it. Perfect for grads moving out into the business world as the emphasis is on the applied use of table manners. There is enough history, a few pictures and it is concise enough that even the most hurried can finish reading it in under an hour.

• Great Little Primer On Dining Etiquette
31 August, 2008
Dorothea Johnson has written an excellent primer on dining etiquette. It's amazing how much information she's packed into such a tiny tome. It's small enough to store in a purse or coat pocket, so you can take it with you to important dining engagements for reference.

• Delightful
06 April, 2007
I received this charming "little" book as a Christmas gift a few years ago. My friend and her husband had taken note that I like etiquette books, and they kindly added to my collection. But this book isn't the heavy, voluminous Amy Vanderbilt/Emily Post for my coffee-table-only book. This book couldn't be more portable and is chocked full of great information. Do you know the differences between Service a la Francaise, Service a la Russe, Service a L'Anglaise, and Restaurant/American Style forms of food presentation? I certainly didn't!
(The author, etiquette guru Dorothea Johnson, is the grandmother of Liv Tyler. How cool!)
Although I love etiquette books, I'm the first to admit that I don't follow etiquette guidelines to a T (especially in casual company--I'd look a little odd if I did!), and my manners, while decent, are far from perfect.
As an aside, my sister had a hardy laugh when I told her I had started reading etiquette books (my first etiquette book was Etiquette Grrls: Things You Need to be Told). She said, "But you're our father's daugher. Why would you read an etiquette book?" (It's a family joke that my dad's side of my family is known to be more than a little crude, while my mom's side is the more refined. Luckily, my sister and I have our mom's side to somewhat offset our dad's genes :-)
