In 1922, Emily Post came out with the definitive book on etiquette. To celebrate its 75th anniversary, her great-granddaughter-in-law Peggy Post has updated and revised the opus into an 845-page 16th edition that takes modern conundrums and lifestyles into account. If you're wondering when to put a napkin in your lap and which foods may be eaten with fingers, the information's still there. But situations Emily never dreamed of--matters of e-mail, cellular phones, step parents, fourth weddings, and in-line skating--are considered with the same grace that made Emily the last word on civility in the 1920s.
From Booklist
Peggy Post, Emily Post's great-granddaughter-in-law and the current, high-profile spokesperson for the Emily Post Institute, is celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of this modern classic by presenting a thoroughly updated and rigorously detailed new edition. The world was already in flux in 1922, when Emily Post, an unusually independent woman for her times, wrote and published the first incarnation of Etiquette (an instant best-seller), and change, both societal and technological, has remained the defining force of our century. But the importance of being considerate and thoughtful, kind and unselfish, has never been diminished. Indeed, as our population and proximity to one another increases, etiquette becomes even more crucial to daily life. Peggy Post explains, "While the philosophy of etiquette must be everlasting, the practice of manners is ever-changing." Post begins with basic communication skills, then segues to "netiquette," that is, the correct use of call waiting, cellular phones, answering machines, and e-mail. Much-needed guidelines for interaction in the business world, from job interviews to entertaining and travel, are covered with the trademark Post specificity. On to more personal matters, Post offers guidelines for divorce-related protocol, expressing condolences, celebrating holidays, and practicing good sports etiquette. Reflecting our enhanced awareness of cultural diversity, Post also provides useful information about various religious customs. For "civility," see Post. Donna Seaman
