“Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.” -- Emily Post
I recently attended a writing etiquette workshop at a local stationery and gift store. The workshop focused on the importance of written correspondence and having social stationery on hand for all occasions.
We discussed the intricacies of addressing envelopes and the best formula for composing polished thank you notes.The workshop left me a little confused, since audience members seemed to disagree with the workshop leader's insights. Let's just say that I will continue to depend upon reference books to help me with my notes ! Here are a few of my favorite books to reference...

“Those who have mastered etiquette, who are entirely, impeccably right, would seem to arrive at a point of exquisite dullness.” -- Dorothy Parker
