We all agree that manners today are not what they should be. Though the rules of civility have changed as the world has, David Coggins believes in the enduring importance of manners and a generous temperament even in the age of the iPhone. This timely book doesn’t tell you which fork to use or how to tie a bow tie. Rather, it reminds you of basic, respectful guidelines you may have forgotten or chosen to ignore. With essays, interviews and expert insight, Coggins makes the case for being the modern man who tips well, offers his seat, picks up the tab and who remembers to do what’s right even if it isn’t always rewarded.
