“Abraham's antidote for the deterioration of modern etiquette is elegantly simple…. This etiquette manual is winningly fueled by common sense, flexibility, and a consistent emphasis on mutual respect.” —The Boston Globe
“Far beyond the usual ‘where-does-the-nut-spoon-go?'… simple etiquette just doesn't cut it anymore…. [Miss Conduct's Mind Over Manners] is more rumination than rules, and Abrahams is as likely to quote Edith Wharton as she is to cite the wisdom of Ali G.” —The Chicago Sun-Times
“Witty as well as perceptive, [Abrahams] keeps the tone agreeably light as she dispenses practical advice on social interaction in an increasingly diverse and fragmented society…. Sensible counsel and etiquette for survival in our post-Emily times.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch
