The Jean Outland Chrysler Library wishes to extend a polite “How do you do?” to our newest addition: Emily’s Post’s Etiquette. Written by her great-grand daughter-in-law, Peggy Post, it is the 17th edition of Post’s 1922 publication, Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home. Etiquette contains helpful sections that have been updated for the modern audience including correspondence and communication protocol, dress and grooming, using proper names and titles, table manners, hosting celebrations, workplace interactions, how to behave when traveling, and a large section dedicated to weddings. Good manners and the know-how to handle a wide variety of social situation are essential to any institution, and the Chrysler is no exception. While Post’s work may be our latest acquisition, it is by no means our only book dedicated to custom and behavior. The Jean Outland Chrysler Library holds such insightful classics as Count Baldesar Castiglione’s The Book of the Courtier and The Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette: a Guide to Contemporary Living. Drop by the library (no R.S.V.P. required) and we will be happy to show you - as long as you say “please!”
