Well, how else was I supposed to know how to speak to my maid about that unfortunate incident involving Mr. Wallis Peavy's soup spoon at my dinner after the West Point Mixer last Spring? If not for Amy, I'd still be wearing my white gloves to a hunting party!Sep 05, 2007
This book is delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed every hilariously smug word. Vanderbilt's audacious attempts to commune with the common man (those with less than, say, three servants) while still pandering to those who might require personal audience with the Pope or may need to break previous engagements due to invitations to the White House filled my toilet time with joy for months.Feb 13, 2018
Spectacular! I'd have never thought that a reference book on etiquette would conceivably rank among my favorite books, but here we are. The Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette is a guide to all parts of life that I wish I'd read a decade or two ago, and it's something I plan on continually rereading parts of for refreshers. Reading this book makes me think about how I can be more polite and a better member of society while not neglecting my own needs at the same time.Jan 09, 2018
As with rules regarding driving, etiquette is an important skill for navigating social situations and minimizing the risk of conflict, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings. Etiquette helps us know what is expected of us and what we can expect from others.Aug 30, 2013
I grew up in a small town and when teenagers came close to a decent dating age the neighborhood would put together an etiquette dinner to help properly prepare us. Unfortunately, this dinner was never a walk in the park. Sure there were tea light candles to try and build the mood for an actual date. They would have beautiful table clothes and correct dinner plate settings. We were then expected to figure out how to use the place settings in the correct manner all while we remained prim and I grew up in a small town and when teenagers came close to a decent dating age the neighborhood would put together an etiquette dinner to help properly prepare us.

After a slight disagreement with my mother regarding proper placement of cups and utensils on an informal table, I chose to read both this book and Emily Post's Etiquette.Jun 16, 2008
This book is a great must have for anyone who questions the proper way to go about things. From Weddings to Funerals, Dinner Party's and Business, this book is a perfect guide for proper etiquette. I love that I can answer my friends questions about what to do in various situations. I have referenced it more frequently than I would have thought.Jun 24, 2010
an interesting departure from my usual morning read over coffee...Nov 24, 2014
A must have for every personal library. They've taken a more modern stance on some social conventions than I prefer to use, but overall this is a book that gives you confidence in your appropriateness in any room or situation.Jan 23, 2008
At some point I became fascinated by rudeness and the death of manners. I like the old etiquette books from the 19th century, so the Vanderbilt was a bit of a step forward for me. Weighing several pounds, it is currently propping up some other books on my night stand.Aug 24, 2014
I understood, that things about everything is about nothing. But its OK for beginners.Feb 26, 2011
This book is really 'complete', covers all kinds of situation, from funerals to ethnic parties.Jun 01, 2009
