Debrett's handbook
"Regularly revised and updated, Debrett's Correct form has never been out of print, and has now been amalgamated into this new publication ... Debrett's authoritative advice covers addressing the Royal Family, titles, Crown honours, precedence and protocol, as well as professional forms of address ... [The handbook] contains a comprehensive guide to correspondence, from the most formal to business and social, including use of email and social media, undreamt of in 1970 ... [It] is also an extensive guide to contemporary manners, the first time that Debrett's has combined these two complementary elements. It examines traditions and behaviour in a range of contexts and widely-encountered situations, from very formal events and major rites of passage, such as christenings, weddings and funerals, to home entertaining and hosting informal gatherings. It also offers a modern interpretation of the foundations that underpin all manners: introductions, small talk, conversation, compliments. It will help the reader to feel at ease, and put others at ease, in every situation"--Page 4.
