Peas & Queues
Sandi Toksvig (Allen & Unwin, $29.99)
Mind your Ps and Qs is an expression most children hear when growing up, but what does it actually mean in 2013?
Written as a series of letters to “Mary” – an eight-year-old in the author’s life – this is a comprehensive manual of etiquette history and social observation.
From table manners and behaviour at the office party to pregnancy (never, ever ask a woman if she’s expecting), and Twitter trolls, Sandi has sage advice.
What’s acceptable or not changes with the social mores of each generation and in this witty, no-nonsense guide there’s advice for people of all ages to navigate the modern world.
We have 10 copies to give away.
