Would It Kill You to Stop Doing That: A Modern Guide to Manners Hardcover - 2012
by Henry Alford
A few years ago, humorist and journalist Alford found himself "reverse-apologizing": offering apologies for other people, on their behalf, when they failed to do so themselves. This hilarious and non-elitist book looks past the standard "do's" and "don't's" of good form, in search of ways we can treat each other better.
