About this product

Product Information

Your neighbor denounces cellular telephones as instruments of the devil. Your niece swears that no one expects thank-you letters anymore. Your father-in-law insists that married women have to take their husbands' names. Your guests plead that asking them to commit themselves to attending your party ruins the spontaneity. Who is right? Miss Manners, of course. With all those amateurs issuing unauthorized etiquette pronouncements, aren't you glad that there is a gold standard to consult about what has really changed and what has not? The freshly updated version of the classic bestseller includes the latest letters, essays, and illustrations, along with the laugh-out-loud wisdom of Miss Manners as she meets the new millennium of American misbehavior head-on. This wickedly witty guide rules on the challenges brought about by our ever-evolving society, once again proving that etiquette, far from being an optional extra, is the essential currency of a civilized world.

Reviews
[Judith Martin] is an extremely useful philosopher, and I consult her frequently, in order to behave better., In the almost twenty years I've owned it, Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior--an 800-plus page brick of good sense--has rarely rested on the shelf....When I read Martin, I feel understood. And not understood merely as I am (impatient, exhausted, distracted by that one last text I need to send), but understood as I would like to be.

Excruciatingly Funny Guide to Modern Manners
Miss Manners' Guide To Excruciatingly Correct Behavior addresses the way to handle yourself in modern situations with humor and wit by the author, Judith Martin. Miss Martin not only provides insight and wisdom on the ways to approach common issues of etiquette, she also answers letters she has received from readers of her syndicated newspaper column over the years in her book. Her answers are filled with the knowledge you need to handle yourself in any given situation; however, rather than bore you to death like some columnists do, she puts her special "spin" on each answer, lending her wit and sarcasm to each reply so that you are laughing along with her as you nod in understanding seeing yourself, or someone you know, in each situation. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for advice or just someone who likes to read the "advice columns."Read full review

Miss Manners gives you all the answers
This book is a super reference guide to how to handle sticky situations such as family, divorce, and general issues we all deal with. Of course, sometimes, she may go a bit overboard with certain details, but always enjoyable to read. Parts may be long-winded, but worth a read.
