About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home, by Emily Post. From advice on planning the perfect wedding to eating an artichoke correctly, Emily Post offers instruction on how to live a well-mannered life circa 1922. With a sometimes gentle, sometimes sharp wit, she maintains that true ladies and gentlemen are characterized not by wealth but by their behavior toward others. (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden)
