Martine's Hand-book of Etiquette, and Guide to True Politeness
Arthur Martine
Conversation is an art with general rules, and Arthur Martine opens by teaching them before a word about forks. His handbook proceeds to dress, introductions, letters of introduction, dinner parties, habits at table and wine, aiming at true politeness rather than mere ceremony. A sensible American favorite of its century. Talk well first; the rest follows.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
