4.0 out of 5 stars Very funny!, 2 Jan 2005
By A Customer
THis is a very funny and easy to read book. I bought it at the airport and was trying to hide the laughter it caused. It does cover most of today's situations and its advice is good and well balanced.
However, this isn't a thorough etiquette guide. It will tell you WHAT to do but not HOW to do it. Nevertheless, it's great reading.
