An excellent book that describes in detail what ones footmen and upstairs maids should wear and how they should act when answering the door. An absolute must for anyone who has an extensive household and wants the silver polished daily.
An interesting take on how to be a good person, and how to get along in the part of society you find yourself in.
I love old etiquette books, and Emily Post is the queen of etiquette. Need to know how to properly slurp soup or be escorted across the dance floor? This is your book!
Emily Post's famous treatise of the art of Etiquette, much of the rules have gone to the wayside these days, but still a useful reference for special occasions.
