We love this beautiful book and it really is full of wonderful advice, some of which we wished others had read about e.g. “Aeroplanes. In cramped conditions, 35,000 feet above sea level, good manners are paramount. Do not intrude on your fellow passengers’ territory, keep your elbows firmly tucked in; ease your chair gently in the reclining position, which will avoid a sudden invasion of the limited legroom of the passenger behind” or
“Dancing: As the night progresses you may think that you’re becoming a better dancer, but the opposite is usually true. If you’ve turned into a sweaty, uncoordinated muddle of flailing limbs it is time to withdraw. Equally if you find yourself alone on the dance floor it may also be wise to exit, unless your Travolta-esque routine has drawn an admiring crowd”

This is an elegant and useful book to add to your own library, or as a gift for others.
