Step back into the mid-century era with Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Book of Etiquette: A Guide to Gracious Living, published by Doubleday. This classic hardcover volume features the 1952 and 1954 copyright dates and serves as an ultimate historical window into classic American social customs, formal dining, home entertaining, and traditional manners. ​The book features detailed textual guides alongside illustrative diagrams, including formal tea tray arrangements, proper table settings, and social protocols. It is an excellent reference piece for historians, vintage lifestyle enthusiasts, or anyone looking to add a touch of retro charm to their bookshelf display. ​Condition Details ​This vintage item is being listed in Acceptable condition. As shown in the images, it exhibits distinct signs of shelf wear and age: ​The hardcover spine and cloth boards show noticeable scuffing, surface rub wear, fading, and softening at the corners. ​The text block edges have typical age-related browning/tanning and light foxing. ​The internal binding remains intact, and the pages are complete, fully legible, and free of heavy structural damage, making it a great reading or reference copy.
