5.0 out of 5 starsAn Informative, Non-Stuffy Etiquette Resource
By njbookworm on November 14, 2000
Format: Paperback
I purchased this to serve as a guide for my first-ever party in my new-ish apartment. What a great resource!
Peggy Post's _Entertaining_ covered a lot of ground -- from serving a formal sit-down dinner in one's home to gracefully declining an invitation to a friend's barbeque. I especially enjoyed the incredibly helpful section on house guests. It discussed both how to properly *host* a house guest and how to *be* a sought-after house guest. (My mother was right. You should never to a host's house empty handed.)
Each tip or explanation is written in a clear, congenial way. Not once did I feel that Ms. Post was "talking down" to the reader. Rather, her tone was similar to that of a friend giving another friend sage advice.
Additionally, I liked how the book was organized, as it broke entertaining into a number of easy-to-follow categories including formal parties, casual cocktails, or impromptu get togethers. Therefore, I could easily pick and choose what I needed to read and save the other material for a later date.
I might suggest giving this book as a housewarming gift to a new home owner or as a wedding gift (attached to s place setting) for social newlyweds. They will surely appreciate the advice of this expert!

It's obvious that Peggy Post inherited many of her skills and zestiness from the famed Emily Post, etiquette guru.

5.0 out of 5 starsCovers a lot of topics
By Kim RDH on March 29, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I've always had questions about the simple things that make life proper. This book goes over a lot of topics from place settings to how to correctly slice an apple. I've loved it since I bought it.

A nice little "go to" book for anyone planning a big (or small) occasion or just wanting to be prepared for when an occasion arises.

5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely love it
By CaH on June 2, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I absolutely love this book. Easy to read and is thorough. I bought it for my sister who is starting her events planning business (I cheated and kept it for a few days so I could read it for myself). This is beautifully written, easy to read and understand. The details are superb.

5.0 out of 5 stars"Emily Post Etiquette " - A Valuable Companion
By Mrs. Y. M. Parr on February 25, 2006
Format: Paperback
This 17th edition in hardback is excellent. I have constantly referred to it since its arrival here in Bundanoon, Australia (Down Under)and have already had favourable results from its usage. I have consequently recommended it to several members of my family and my friends.

By TRock on January 20, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Emily Post will forever be my go-to etiquette book. I have the newest 18th edition classic, her business etiquette book, and this Entertaining edition! Great reference when you want to check on something when planning to have guests. I was hoping for some additional scenarios, but I was pleased with this book overall!
