NEW! The Library

[Ehelldame]

After months of work, The Library is ready to debute!

Consisting of antique, vintage and out-of-print etiquette books, The Library is an archival repository of the history of etiquette and manners in Western culture.

If you love hsitory, you'll enjoy reading the older books. They certainly give an interesting perspective on the times the author wrote the book.

Thankyou so much!! I've just registered to be notified at my library when someone brings back an etiquette book that they borrowed in 1999!!  This is great!

Are there any that cover etiquette outside the USA?

Thanks for adding that section - it certainly looks interesting =)

"Manners and Social Usage" and "Best American Society" do compare etiquette between the US and France and England at various points.

I collect 19th and early 20th century domestic manuals and etiquette books.  I even have an original of one of the books cited!
