The book includes a few interesting historical gems--and some good observations about our own time. I was surprised by the progressiveness of "Miss Manners" (compared to how I thought she'd be). However, the book is rambling and extremely poorly organized. As a result, reading this book was quite tedious and took much longer than it would have if I was enjoying it. Overall, a big disappointment.

ok book about American manners.
