Bought this as a 'tongue in cheek' gift for a friend; but I bought one for myself at the same time, after all I didn't want to be less well informed! Then of course I found it very interesting, quite light hearted and amusing. My reading of it was punctuated with 'well I never knew that's why we did that' and 'so my Grandmother was right after all, no wonder she kept telling me off' type of mutterings. Of course it always nice to be able to feel as if one can take the social 'high ground' once in awhile and never feel out of place. All that said, good manners should be the norm not the exception, having read this and reminded myself of that fact, I shall try harder in the future.

Thoroughly amusing and informative read .......... and to the best of my knowledge ...... so true. A little gem based on courtesy and common-sense and applicable to all ages and modern times. Very highly recommended!
