1960 Tenth Edition

The most famous and influential guide to social conduct ever written – Emily Post’s *Etiquette* has been the standard authority on manners, customs, and good behavior since 1922. This 1960 Tenth Edition, updated and revised, remains the complete reference for every situation: introductions, greetings, conversation, invitations, correspondence, dress, entertaining, weddings, funerals, travel, public places, business, and formal events. Written in clear, practical language, it explains not just “what to do” but “why” – balancing tradition with common sense. For generations, this book has taught millions how to move confidently and graciously in society, and it remains the gold standard for understanding American social usage.

Emily Post didn’t just write a book – she defined how Americans understood good manners, respect, and social harmony. *Etiquette* reflected and shaped the culture of its time, and even today, its principles of kindness, consideration, and propriety remain relevant. This 1960 edition captures the mid‑century version of social standards, bridging tradition and modern life.
