Margaret Shepherd

This is a poor man's Miss Manners, entirely lacking in her wit, charm, and grace. There are attempts at all of the above, but they fall flat. The book's information was extremely basic (don't be dull, don't be rude, don't interrupt), and isn't going to turn a bore into a charmer or a wallflower into a sparkler.

If you're the sort that would buy this book, you won't find anything in it you haven't heard before. Send notes promptly; use quality paper and ink; be nice. That's essentially it.
