Belowstairs diplomacy gets a book of its own: Lillian Eichler's second volume tackles the household staff question head-on, from how to address servants and the invisible barrier to the child's relations with the help, before moving through the rest of social usage. Practical, unsnobbish and very 1921. The servant chapters alone are a time machine.

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.
