A Few of the Best Book References in the Game

Below is a list of some of my favorite protocol and etiquette books that I have used throughout my career. They are not necessarily in order, but I must tell you that if you are a teacher, a protocol consultant, or an etiquette professional, they are wonderful references to have on hand. No matter how long you have been in the business, it’s always good to brush up on or verify your knowledge.

1. “Protocol: The Complete Handbook of Diplomatic Official and Social Usage” by: Mary Jane McCaffree, Pauline Innis and Richard M. Sand.
2. “Etiquette, 19^th Edition, Manners for Today” by Emily Post
3. “Modern Manners” by Dorothea Johnson and Liv Tyler
4. “A Kids’ Guide to Manners: 50 Fun Etiquette Lessons for Kids (and Their Families)” by Katherine Flannery
   
5. “The Blue Book of Stationary: The Definitive Guide to Social and Business Correspondence Etiquette” updated by Pamela Eyring and Robert Hickey
   
   
   
   

These books cover everything from seating to invites to dining to fun tips. Even someone with years of experience could benefit from brushing up on the world of protocol and etiquette. If you have any favorite books, please comment below, I would love to add to my library! Happy Reading!
