Essential Manners for Men

Peter Post tackles the etiquette topics of real concern to today's men. Drawn from Post Institute surveys and organized into three parts-Daily Life, Social Life, and On the Job, the book zeroes in on situations where men aren't sure what to do. The advice is quick, sharp, and sensible, fleshed out by accessible sidebars, tips, and stories from Peter Post's own experience. Some questions he answers include: should hats come off indoors-and where did that rule come from? What does "Casual" mean in an invitation? Should a man enter a revolving door ahead of a woman to push for her, or step aside and let her enter first? When passing a co-worker in the hallway, how many times should greetings is exchanged on a given day? How to tell if a wedding invitation includes a man's girlfriend? Short and shoot-from-the-hip honest; this book helps men make the right decisions about what to do and say in every situation that counts
