Lisa Towles,
Award-Winning Author Choke and The Unseen
I love this book for so many reasons! It will appeal to more than just fans of Downton Abbey. Well-written, with lots of juicy trivia, it is a useful tool for navigating our modern world. By reminding us of how to properly treat one another, all our interactions are enhanced to a higher level of quality. We need a book like this more than ever before!

Who knew reading about etiquette could be such fun? Numerous real-world (and sometimes cringe-worthily funny) examples, as well as fun historical facts, make this etiquette guide as enjoyable as a well-planned party attended by polite and attentive guests.

A great read for professionals. Elements such as dressing, holding one’s own at conversation, and socialising at a dinner are all important reminders that will set you apart as a social asset.
Nicholas Clayton, Author A Butler’s Guide to Table Manners
A very stimulating read — one that I really enjoyed!
