This easily accessible book focuses on those moments when knowing exactly what to say is an absolutely necessary challenge. From the light-hearted 'how to react when someone turns you down for a date' or 'what to say when you notice someone's fly is open' to the more serious 'what to say to a co-worker who has had a miscarriage or to a friend who has suffered the sudden death of a parent,' As A Gentleman Would Say differs from other etiquette books in that it not only offers suggestions for the correct thing to say in more than 100 social situations-it also gives examples of the wrong thing to say!
