Tiffany's Table Manners For Teenagers
John Hoving, Joe Eula, Walter Hoving
Here is the perfect little book for anyone—teenage or otherwise—who has ever wanted to master the art of good table manners. Written by Walter Hoving, former chairman of Tiffany's of New York, it is a step-by-step introduction to all the basics, from the moment the meal begins ("It is customary for the young man to help the young lady on his right to be seated") to the time it ends ("Remember that a dinner party is not a funeral, nor has your hostess invited you because she thinks you are in dire need of food. You're there to be entertaining"). In addition to the essentials about silverware, service, and sociability, it includes many of the fine points, too—the correct way to hold a fish fork, how to eat an artichoke properly, and, best of all, how to be a gracious dining companion.Concise, witty, and illustrated with humor and style by Joe Eula, this classic guide to good table manners has delighted readers of all ages for more than 50 years.

Tiffany's Table Manners for Teenagers by Walter Hoving is a brief reminder of the proper manners expected at parties and at the dinner table. Technically, this book is aimed at teenagers; however it is really appropriate for anyone. There are several helpful hints such as how to correctly hold a fork and how to eat an artichoke. Along with the useful tips, there are cute black and white doodles to help understand the pointers. This book is a quick read and the perfect way to reinforce (or learn) respectful manners before attending parties or a get-together.
