Teach yourself good manners

Norman, W. S.2017
Book
Originally published in 1958, 'Teach Yourself Good Manners' is a fascinating guide, packed full of both timeless advice and tips that demonstrate just how much life has changed in the years since it published. Indeed, the author, W.S. Norman, would doubtless be horrified by modern manners and would implore us to study his rather uptight but very funny rules for modern living. Amusing, intriguing and sometimes rather inspiring, this handbook is a window into how life would have looked had we lived in a 'a simpler age' - in which, confusingly, they had rather a lot of strange rules.
