The Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette: 50th Anniversay Edition 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

Though I am very fond of this new edition, it definitely is not the original. I have a copy of the original 1952 version and purchased this one to prevent further wear on my original copy as I reference it quite often. This edition, though very resourceful, simply is not the original. If you are looking for a modern book on etiquette with a more American view of things, this is a great book. That being said, as stated in the front cover this is a “rewrite” and not a revision, so a great deal of the original information has been changed or removed, especially pertaining to traditional European etiquette.

Oops, I did that! But now I know better!

Old standard. Never out of date. I ordered it for myself and my son ended up taking it. He’s. 35 year old private chef. He found a lot of good information in the book that would help his business

Every household should know how to conduct themselves in public. Let's not go back to the stone age era. This will be a tool for success or failure in ur public exposure.

Great reminder that in today's "pop" culture, everything and anything are not acceptable!

This is an excellent book! Etiquette seems to have become a thing of the past, particularly in the workplace. I have enjoyed bringing to attention several aspects of bad form to some of my colleagues, one of the most annoying ones which is interrupting someone while they are speaking. I'm considering giving copies as gifts for Christmas!

I often have felt that if everyone read a good etiquette guide and followed the suggestions, the world would be a kinder, gentler place. One can't do much better than Amy Vanderbilt and I bought this for my niece, who is going to be married soon and should have a good guide in her library. Every aspect of one's life works better with good manners.

WOW! Thanks!!

Very interesting so far but a lot of reading!!

Everyone should own this book.Would make a wonderful gift to a young adult relative.

Perfect book on everything you need to know on etiquette.
