Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Culled from dozens of etiquette tomes of the ages, WICKED ETIQUETTE is hard to put down read. From how soon to become intimate with a new spouse, dining out, visting and dressing there is scarely a page that will not make you smile and want to track down the original book that particular gem was taken from. My only complaint is that the covers are far too close together. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Move over, Miss Manners! This collection of the most irate, emphatic, and amusing condemnations of impropriety from the past 700 years supplies indispensable nuggets of advice for almost everyone. Dieters and gluttons, waiters and wallflowers, athletes and musicians, lawyers and dogs--all can benefit from these pearls of wisdom, culled from etiquette books since the 14th century. Consider, for example, this suggestion from 1883: "Get rid at once of offensive teeth, remembering that an empty house is better than a bad tenant." With witty drawings complementing the helpful hints, this tongue-in-cheek guide to the best of bad behavior is as useful today as when the rules were written. Ideal for lovers of time travel who want to luxuriate in bygone eras of carriage rides and shooting parties, it also makes the perfect gift for that special someone who needs a push in the right direction. Because good manners never go out of style. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
