"From
office parties to extended families, e-mail to introductions,
Sue Fox covers it all in this smart, sassy manners guide for the
new millennium. Wise, funny, and practical, Etiquette For Dummies
is just what we need to be on our best behavior."
"Somehow, somewhere, all of us have blown a social
or business interaction and realized…too late…what we
should have done or said. This book will keep those gaffes to
a minimum. But more than that, Sue Fox gives the reader priceless
tools for polishing one's image and moving through our complex
lives with an aura of class." Suzanne Saunders

"You say your friends don't bother to reply to your
party invitations or write thank-you notes for gifts? That's because
they've been hit by the national malady: lousy manners. They need
a copy of Etiquette for Dummies (Wiley & Sons, Inc. $21.95),
the latest in the Dummies series, although it would be rude to
send them one. Authored by Sue Fox, founder of Etiquette Survival,
it covers everything from how to introduce your ex-spouse (not
"my children's deadbeat father," leave out the adjective)
to how to eat bacon. (If crisp, use fingers; if soft, use knife
and fork.) "
