Emily Post's 1945 etiquette,
By Alexa Porter (Chicago, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I thought it would be fun to have an Emily Post Etiquette book from 1945; it the year I was born, and also to see how WWII affected social behavior. Turns out the book was originally printed in 1945 but reprinted several times after that, so the resulting book was actually a 1960's version with the 6o's hair and dresses - not what I wanted. It should have been advertised as a "1965" Emily Post book instead of a 1945 Emily Post book, so it was a bit misrepresented. Now I'm stuck with it...

Some of the Publishing History of Emily Post's Etiquette,
By Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Etiquette: The Blue Book of Social Usage (Hardcover)
The first edition of this seminal work was published in 1922.Revised editions were released in 1927, 1931, 1934, 1937, 1940, and 1942. An important and major revision occurred with the 1945 edition "Completely Rewritten and Reset Including Military Etiquette and Post-War Etiquette" which was "Illustrated with Photographs and Facsimiles of Social Forms."
