Charm School in a Book

This is a good primer for people who need to improve their manners, and it's a great book for brushing up on them. I love books like this, and this one is outstanding. The author wrote another book similar to this called "As A Lady Would Say," which I gave four stars. This one gets five because it is absolutely perfect.

How to Be a Lady

Excellent for every high school graduate to read and adopt.

Every lady should read this

In today's society women have been deluded into thinking immorality and sluttiness will get them the attention they desire. This book turns the tables on 'girls gone wild' and shows that femininity doesn't have to mean nudity. In fact being a lady can mean class and can mean being well spoken and people will still turn their heads when you walk into a room. In essence, you don't need to be a stripper to dress like a prostitute...

I still like this book and read all of them. Some of them I already knew, but some of them is new to me. Even though some of them I heard thousand times as well. I believe that written in words is totally different than the speaking the word...
