Book Description
There is no better time than now for a definitive guide to contemporary civilized living. As traditional codes of behavior have given way to an increasingly informal society, many people are disconcerted by the current lack of guidelines. The established rules are as important as ever, but need adaptation for the complications and developments of the twenty-first century.
The Debrett's New Guide to Etiquette and Modern Manners cuts through the confusion to combine the very best of traditional standards of conduct with acceptable modern innovations. Packed with no-nonsense step-by-step advice, it covers everything from basic table manners to how to equip yourself at the grandest royal and diplomatic gatherings. Written with clarity and wit, this book celebrates the charm, beauty, and fascination of classic good manners, and their enduring role in a civilized society.

be prepared for the social occasion
2002/6/19
形式:ハードカバー
The book Etiquette and Modern Manners by John Morgan, who died much too young in a tragic accident in 2000, is published by the British publishing house Debrett's, publisher of many authoritative social reference guide books. Some advice you might find overdone. However, if you follow the suggestions when in doubt you can hardly go wrong. This guide covers many things, such as entertaining, dressing or writing letters in correct style. For example, this book informs you about the correct way to address people with titles and what to do if you are invited to a shooting party. We like John Morgan?s style as he always tries to explain why an etiquette would make sense. For some it might be an old fashioned thing of the past, but if you would like to be prepared for that social occasion, this book will give you some reliable advice.

Positive Infusion of Manners Into Modern Society!
2005/11/16
形式:ハードカバー
Author John Morgan has successfully compiled modern changes and adaptations to the traditional code of civilized behavior in the form of "Debrett's New Guide to Etiquette & Modern Manners: The Indispensible Guidebook."
Morgan covers nearly every social situation imaginable and offers the very best of tradional standards with the latest rules of grace and etiquette.
The text is divided into two parts. Part I, "Rites of Passage," of the volume advises on situations from Births and Baptisms; Weddings, Separation and Divorce, Remarriage, and Deaths and Funerals. Part II, "Social Life," advises on proper form at Royal, Diplomatic and Other Formal Occasions; the Written Word, the Spoken Word, Perosnal Relationships, Manners, Entertaining, Business Manners, Dress, and more.
Suffice to say that any text offering advice upon the topics of form, decorum, manner, address, etc. has much to offer to and is thus worth much to society. Without reservation a five star rating.

An Essential Book
2004/4/7
形式:ハードカバー
This book is an excellent resource for tips on manners from mobile telephone and internet etiquette to throwing a party for the Queen. Almost all of the tips are correct - though I have my doubts about the suggestion that a man help a lady into a taxi and then follow her in through the same door (forcing her to slide along the taxi seat).
The biggest problem I found with this book was the author's occasionally affected style of writing and the frequent use of non-English phrases (which is considered extremely bad form in written English). I was very surprised that the master of modern manners would be lacking in knowledge of the rules of good English writing.
Despite its shortcomings, this is still an essential book. I give it four stars because its content is so useful. It loses a star because of the affectation and poor English style.
