This one was a disappointment for me.
It was pretty lame...I was expecting a lot more useful info, instead of mostly general info and glossing over topics.
Most of the book, about 80%, were just common sense or very basic obvious knowledge to me. Ok, so I was taught good manners by my parents growing up, but I figured I could find some more useful info in this book....unfortunately I didn't.

Light-hearted guide to current etiquette and I wish in fact that I'd read it before, because simple and seemingly obvious (in retrospect) social responses could have eased my way in various situations or made me a better guest/host. You might be surprised at what you don't know or cues you've missed too. Easy to read and well-formatted book.
