Sobre este artículo
Fireside, 15-Nov-90. Paperback. Very Good. HUGE BOOK! NO SPINE CREASES & MILD SHELF WEAR ON COVER. LIGHTLY AGED PAGES, TINY SPOT ON EDGE, NO MARKINGS IN TEXT. Description: This world-respected arbiter of good manners, with her distinct blend of cutting humor and impeccable taste, has written the essential reference for every sticky situation. Martin offers explicit, practical and entertaining advice on appropriate social, business and personal etiquette. Serial sales to Redbook, New Woman, and Woman. Line art throughout. """"From Publishers Weekly: Martin, aka syndicated columnist """"""""Miss Manners,"""""""" here covers everything one might need to know about proper behavior, not just for the coming millennium, but in everyday life in the present decade. In a Q & A format interspersed with short essays on manners, mores and her personal peeves, she deals with the gamut of social situations, from AIDS (""""""""receiving an incurable disease because one does not want to risk offending someone with a question seems excessive"""""""") to nude weddings, telephone answering machines (""""""""the modern equivalent of the butler""""""""), the """"""""spinach-on-the-tooth rule"""""""" (""""""""draw something unfavorable to a person's attention only if it can easily be fixed"""""""") and the correct response to negative literary criticism (""""""""the etiquette obligation in such cases is on the friends and supporters of the wounded author""""""""). Miss Manners's remarkably sane advice and admonitions, written in the third person and addressed to """"""""Gentle Reader,"""""""" are entertaining as well as practical. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc."""" """"Publishers Weekly: Miss Manners covers everything one might need to know about proper behaviour, not just for the coming millennium, but in everyday life in the present decade...entertaining as well as practical.""""
