Miss Manners maintains the gold standard for etiquette in any situation, and with good reason. Her graceful writing and sharp wit guide gentle readers through any imaginable crisis with aplomb, from how teens should endure being treated as children ("Growing up is the best revenge") to where a salad bowl should go ("directly under the salad"). Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior is an exhaustive and charmingly indispensable reference for all well-mannered people.
