Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 0.9 x 8.2 x 5.7 Inches; 224 pages; Your friends neglect to RSVP to your party invitation . . . co-workers munch their pungent meals near your office . . . pedestrians shout into their cell phones and practically knock you to the pavement.Wishing that friends, family, colleagues, and oblivious strangers would mind their manners is lovely, but what about your own? You don?t mean to be rude, but in today?s carefree, high-tech, fast-paced world, how are you supposed to know what to do?Thankfully, Englishman Thomas Blaikie?s witty and insightful guide will help you steer through this minefield of uncertainty and back onto the path toward civility?without a lot of fuss and bother. No need to worry about the proper way to eat soup or which is the salad fork. What Blaikie teaches you is more important: how and when to drop in on a friend, how to turn down suitors graciously, how to ?move on? at a party, how to end a text-message conversation that?s gone on just a bit too long, and how to cope with myriad other twenty-first-century social traumas.Always positive and cheerful, To the Manner Born offers commonsense, practical solutions. And if you don?t like someone else?s manners, yes, you really should try to do something about it?in the nicest way possible, of course. ?Thomas Blaikie is the perfect guide through the treacherous minefield of contemporary social mores: witty, amusingly abstruse, stylish and most importantly knowledgeable.? ?Will Self, author of Cock and Bull?If everyone followed the rules of this book, well, I would certainly go out more. It is packed with good sense, sharp observation, and genuine helpfulness.??Lynne Truss, author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves. Seller Inventory # 84638

To the Manner Born: A Most Proper Guide to Modern Civility
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
