A practical modern guide to dining etiquette from Elizabeth L. Post, the granddaughter-in-law of etiquette authority Emily Post and longtime director of the Emily Post Institute. Written for contemporary readers, the book addresses both traditional table manners and evolving social expectations around dining at home, entertaining guests, and eating in restaurants. Topics include formal and informal place settings, hosting dinners and banquets, navigating restaurant service and tipping, responding to invitations, and handling challenging foods or awkward social situations at the table. The guide combines classic etiquette principles with updated advice suited to late-twentieth-century dining culture, from family meals and buffet service to business lunches and casual entertaining. Numerous diagrams illustrate glassware, place settings, and serving arrangements, making the book both a reference work and a practical handbook for hosts and guests alike. Published near the end of Elizabeth L. Post's career as director of the Emily Post Institute, shortly before her retirement in 1995. Book Near Fine. Quarter navy cloth over cream boards with gilt spine lettering. Binding firm and square with clean, bright pages and no ownership marks or writing. Dust Jacket Near Fine.

Elizabeth L. Post (1920-2010) was a leading authority on etiquette and a longtime spokesperson for the Emily Post Institute.
