The Illustrated Histories of Everyday Behavior tells the extraordinary true stories of the 64 biggest social graces and faux pas-using hilarious and informative illustrations! From the time we' re born, we' re taught to mind our manners: don' t put your elbows on the table, make eye contact when you' re speaking with someone, chew with your mouth closed. In fact, we learn pretty much everything about basic etiquette. . . everything except where, exactly, it came from. That' s where The Illustrated Histories of Everyday Behaviors comes in. This handy, easy-to-read guidebook is packed with answers to questions like: Why can' t you show up to a party empty-handed? Who invented the "Golden Rule"? What does "RSVP" mean? Why can' t you wear ballcaps inside? When did we start saying "thank you"? More than a simple gift book, The Illustrated Histories of Everyday Behavior 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.
