Paperback. Condición: New. A few years ago, humorist and journalist Henry Alford found himself "reverse-apologizing": offering apologies for other people, on their behalf, when they failed to do so themselves. Ever since, he's realized he needed to take a closer look at manners-his own, and others'.In WOULD IT KILL YOU TO STOP DOING THAT? he interviews experts both likely (Miss Manners, Tim Gunn) and unlikely (a former prisoner, an army sergeant).

He designates the World's Most Annoying Bride.Providing answers to questions like, Why shouldn't you ask a cabdriver where's he's from?, and Why is posting baby pictures on Facebook a fraught activity?, this hilarious and non-elitist book looks past the standard "dos" and "don't's" of good form, in search of ways we can treat each other better.…

Soft cover. Condición: As New. First trade edition: February 2013, 1st printing. 242pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "'We all know bad manners when we see them,' NPR and Vanity Fair contributor Henry Alford observes. When someone answers their cell phone in the middle of dining with you, or runs you off the sidewalk with their doublewide stroller, or you enter a post-apocalyptic public restroom, the long-revered wisdom of Emily Post can seem downright prehistoric. [] Alford embarks on a journey to find out how things might look if people were on their best behavior a tad more often. He travels to Japan (the "Fort Knox Reserve" of good manners) to observe its culture of collective politesse. He interviews etiquette experts both likely (Judith Martin, Tim Gunn) and unlikely (a former prisoner, an army sergeant). He plays a game called Touch the Waiter. And he volunteers himself as a tour guide to foreigners visiting New York City in order to do ground-level reconnaissance on cultural manners divides. Along the way he also finds time to teach Miss Manners how to steal a cab and designates the World's Most Annoying Bride. [] Ultimately, by tackling the etiquette questions specific to our age--such as Why shouldn't you ask a cab driver where he's from? and Why is posting baby pictures on Facebook a fraught activity? and What's the problem with 'No problem'?--Alford finds a wry and warm way into a subject that has sometimes been seen as pedantic or elitist. He looks past the standard 'dos' and 'don'ts' of good form to present an illuminating, seriously entertaining book about grace and civility, and how we can simply treat each other better." [publisher copy] "A lively meditation . . . assorted useful advice . . . Alford is particularly fine and funny on how to conduct proper party conversation."--New York Times. Pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…
