GentleManners Books Reihe

This easily accessible book focuses on those moments when knowing exactly what to say is an absolutely necessary challenge. From the light-hearted "how to react when someone turns you down for a date" or "what to say when you notice someone's fly is open" to the more serious "what to say to a co-worker who has had a miscarriage or to a friend who has suffered the sudden death of a parent," As A Gentleman Would Say differs from other etiquette books in that it not only offers suggestions for the correct thing to say in more than 100 social situations-it also gives examples of the wrong thing to say!

This GentleManners book is divided into sections about specific items of clothing and specific accessories. It also delves into the different types of events to which a gentleman may find himself invited.

Offers advice on traditional etiquette, such as how to order a bottle of wine, as well as modern points of etiquette, including airport security and Blackberry usage.

A charming reminder of what it takes to be an exemplary woman---someone who is mindful of the effect she has on others and knows how to breeze through an awkward conversation with poise.

With sales of more than 750,000 copies, the books in the GentleManners series have become the most popular gift etiquette books on the market today.
