Title: PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING THIS BOOK
Review: This book came out in 1990. I was 10. My mother jumped at this book and made me read it or the Bible and re-write exerpts as punishment everytime I did something wrong. Notice: these manners were not TAUGHT, they were ENFORCED upon as punishment. The mere sight of this book upsets me to no end. PLEASE. Use this book as a reference as to how manners/table settings/letter writing/conversations are supposed to be used, but do not use it as a tool to punish your children. Discuss what is in the book - make it fun, make it interactive - as a supplement to good parenting. Please don't use it as a tool/babysitter to help raise your child because you're too lazy to teach them yourself.I also don't like reading the Bible as an adult, either.
