Loading... Complete book of etiquette; a guide to gracious living (1952)by Amy Vanderbilt
None. Obviously, this is an etiquette book. Some of the ideas are quite antiquated for today's society, but it's fun to read for a glimpse into the past. I wouldn't recommend following these guidelines strictly anymore, as many of them are considered rather strange now. (For example, Vanderbilt insists that brides who decide not to wear a veil are selfish and attention seeking. She also insists that it's inappropriate for anyone but the bride's father to announce an engagement, and it must be done at some sort of engagement dinner party.)
