In this book, Tiffany, the world-famous New York store, presents its view of good table manners for young Americans.  The book is intended to relieve teenagers, and even some of their elders, of any uncertainty about the setting and use of silverware, the proper way to eat artichokes or to use a finger bowl, or how to be a graceful table companion.  Each piece of advice is illustrated in Joe Eula's amusing and sophisticated style.

"At Tiffany's," explains Walter Hoving in his Foreward, "our interest in attractive tables set with good china, glass and silverware, makes us equally aware of the importance of good table manners.

"Consequently we submit herewith our version of good table manners.  There are other systems and we don't quarrel with them, but we think this system is attractive, graceful and above all, natural."
