Another cute one from Kim & Ceri. It feels like this is a copy of the other book but I'm sure there is a significant difference between them. I love the way they present the material and I wish this was required reading for everyone! ( )

This is the second book put out by the girls (and little old me read it first--how undecorous of me). It is nice to have some manner books by someone a little less prim and proper than Miss Manners but they can still sometimes be a little prissy for me--or maybe that's just my brastrap showing. And there are still a few situations missing that i really NEED to know about... ( )
