In fact, we learn pretty much everything about basic etiquette...everything except where, exactly, it came from. That's where <i>The Illustrated Histories of Everyday Behaviors </i>comes in. This handy, easy-to-read guidebook is packed with answers to questions like: <p/> <b>Why</b> can't you show up to a party empty-handed?<br> <b>Who</b> invented the "Golden Rule"?<br> <b>What</b> does "RSVP" mean?<br> <b>Why</b> can't you wear ballcaps inside? <br> <b>When</b> did we start saying "thank you"? <p/> More than a simple gift book, <i>The Illustrated Histories of Everyday Behavior </i>is an informative guide to life's finer formalities. Regale your friends and family with your knowledge of handshakes, curtsies, and everything in between! And when you're done, pass it onto your friends! The hand-illustrated designs will make them laugh, and maybe even teach them a few things along the way. And, when all is said and done, you can stick the book on a shelf for all to see: its refined cover, thick pages, bold colors, and original artwork would be the perfect addition to any mantle.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Laura Hetherington</b> is a writer, actress, and comedian in New York City--originally, a nice town in Maryland that you've never heard of.
