Anyone who’s ever had an etiquette dilemma (and face it, that’s most of us) knows that one authority can always be trusted: Emily Post. The Maryland debutante faced some trials in her own life, including a messy divorce, but nearly 50 years after her death, her advice on manners remains the gold standard of American etiquette. ‘Read’ about the mistress of good manners by listening to the sound recording of the new book: Emily Post: daughter of the Gilded Age, mistress of American manners by Laura Claridge. More information about this fascinating woman is available from the BIOGRAPHY RESOURCE CENTER on the Library’s database page under the subject ETIQUETTE you will find more than 100 books on all aspects of the codes that govern the expectations of social behavior.
And to answer your own etiquette questions, head to the Greene County Library and consult Emily Post’s Etiquette-no RSVP required.
Below are other ‘Emily Post’ books about etiquette:
• Emily Post’s Complete Book Of Wedding Etiquette
• Emily Post On Business Etiquette
By checking the library catalog
For help finding any of these books, contact the Greene County Library at 985-5227.
