How to be a Gentleman by John Bridges

John Bridges provides a current guide to good manners in the book, How to Be a Gentleman Revised and Updated: A Contemporary Guide to Common Courtesy (Gentlemanners).  I was familiar with most of the social customs listed in the book but appreciated the finer tips on how to behave in front of dignitaries and royalty. 

The tips are a useful refresher for all those who aspire to be a gentleman and a good guide to the social graces for young men navigating the social scene.  As many people have been fired for boorish behavior, it may also serve as a guide for staying employed.
