520    When it debuted in 1922 with a tiny first print run, 
       Etiquette represented a fifty-year-old woman at her 
       wisest?and a country at its wildest. Claridge addresses 
       the secret of Etiquette?s tremendous success and gives us 
       a panoramic view of the culture from which Etiquette took 
       its shape, as its author meticulously updated her book 
       twice a decade to keep it consistent with America?s 
       constantly changing social landscape. A tireless advocate 
       for middle-class and immigrant Americans, Emily Post 
       became the emblem of a new kind of manners in which 
       etiquette and ethics were forever entwined. Now, nearly 
       fifty years after her death, we still feel her enormous 
       influence on how we think Best Society should behave.
