One half etiquette, one half parlor games: George Sandison's handy manual equips a host for the entire evening. Learn introductions, calling cards, dinner parties and a young lady's debut, then turn to the amusements and keep the company laughing until the carriages come. Two books in one binding, both still serviceable. Manners first, merriment after.

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.
