This book came in handy a LOT

I purchased this book several years ago as a hard cover. I learned a lot about what is and isnt appropriate for a formal dinner party, how to gracefully eat ribs in public and it answered the question as to how to tip a great mail carrier. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to make things Just Right.

Basic Etiquette we ALL should know.

I LOVE this book and HOW TO BE by Harriette Cole. Every African American needs to read both books cover to cover. Basic etiquette that used to be taught in the home.

If you have a "?", the Black Book has the answer

I brought this book through a book club that I joined recently. At first I didn't think it could tell me anything that I didn't already know, but it did. This book tells you important things that some of us seem like we didn't know the answers to (i.e., when you go on an interview what is too much when it comes to dressing). It "reminds" us of things that we see and may sometimes do that we shouldn't (i.e., if we are in a resturant and we see other's waiting to be seated, don't continue to hog the table while just talking). The book is really based upon common sense, but sometimes people choose not to use it; therefor, the book reminds you to use those common sense cells located in the brain. It's a good little book to have.

A Must for your home.....

Basic Black is a book that should be on your shelf. It covers topics that we ordinarily overlook, while it providers a refresher of Manners 101. If you've ever had a question about what the "appropriate" thing to do is, then you should buy this book
