1 out of 5 stars Odd for a manners book to be offensive, but it is........2005-08-16

Ms. Post's book is downright offensive in its discussion of children.

For example, Ms. Post takes for granted that children (and not adults) must rise when adults (and not children) enter a room. In certain circumstances, anyone should rise on anyone's entrance, in other situations only if the person or his office warrants unusual respect, and I had hoped to find in this book guidance on distinguishing one from the other. Instead, I got what I can explain only by attributing to Ms. Post the prejudice that every adult is ipso facto morally superior to any child. If she came by that view honestly, she must have been peculiarly blest in the adults she's encountered--and peculiarly cursed in the children.

3 out of 5 stars Nice compact book, but nothing special.......2001-11-01

Solid book with the basics of etiquette for various situations. But I didn't find this book special or with anything that stood out as especially useful. Nevertheless, a nice compact guide.
