    About this ebook

    “A useful guide to navigating the often confusing—and always evolving—world of manners at today’s dinner table” (James Oseland, former editor-in-chief of Saveur magazine, author of Cradle of Flavor and judge on Top Chef Masters).
     
    What’s the right way to hold a wine glass? What’s an appropriate gift to bring a host? How should you correctly introduce guests to each other? What should you do if you don’t want to drink alcohol at a cocktail party? In Modern American Manners you’ll find sensible, easy-to-follow answers to these and many other etiquette questions.
     
    With chapters covering how to be a good host, how to be a good guest, and how to behave at business events, cocktail parties, formal dinners, and restaurants, this is the perfect handbook to help you navigate any social situation—including how to handle pet peeves with grace and civility.
     
    Lavishly illustrated with full-color photographs that highlight both good and bad table manners, Modern American Manners is full of friendly advice for business professionals, college students entering the workplace, and anyone needing a refresher course—or an introduction—to proper behavior.
     
    “Should be a required reading not only for students and young professionals, but for everyone.” —Joseph A. McInerney CHA, Emeritus President and Chief Executive Officer, American Hotel & Lodging Association
     
    “This book is the modern guide to manners, etiquette, and polite behavior that our society needs.”—Darrin Siegfried, President Emeritus, The Sommelier Society of America, Inc.
