Beadle's Dime Book of Practical Etiquette for Ladies and Gentlemen
Anonymous
For ten cents, any American could buy a passport into polite society. Beadle's dime manual runs from entrance into society through introductions, dress, cleanliness and conversation to balls, evening parties and the proper addressing of letters. Cheap, pocket-sized democracy applied to manners. A charming artifact of the age when etiquette went mass market.
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.
