    Product description

    Synopsis
    Miss Manners, a.k.a. Judith Martin, a Washington-based writer whose etiquette advice has long been syndicated in newspapers across the country, updates her 1997 guide with new considerations of office behavior, email, single motherhood, divorce, and--always a fertile ground for truly awful behavior--weddings. Her tart wit and take-no-prisoners attitude are always as properly in place as her white gloves.

    Industry Reviews
    "...I find such passionate certitude not only refreshing--and often hilarious--but also extremely comforting. There should be more areas in life where there is so little room for doubt. Emily Post was a more demure sort....Miss Manners is not interested in nudging people along. She comes right out and says the world would be a better place if everyone started behaving as she does....She is...a strong-minded force of nature in the way that one's interesting and slightly scary grandmothers used to be."

    Excruciatingly Funny Guide to Modern Manners

    Created: 09/01/09
    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."

    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.
