They did a great job rewriting and reorganizing the sections for this edition—a massive undertaking。 I loved the Emily Post quotes at the beginning of each section， and the places where they highlighted passages from the 1922 edition really served to keep that strong connection to the text while highlighting the big differences between expectations then and now。 Dan and Lizzie are so thoughtful about how they bring the EP legacy into the future， and you can hear them working that out weekly on t They did a great job rewriting and reorganizing the sections for this edition—a massive undertaking。 I loved the Emily Post quotes at the beginning of each section， and the places where they highlighted passages from the 1922 edition really served to keep that strong connection to the text while highlighting the big differences between expectations then and now。 Dan and Lizzie are so thoughtful about how they bring the EP legacy into the future， and you can hear them working that out weekly on the podcast in a very earnest way。 It was gratifying to see all of that thinking show up in a polished way on the pages of the Centennial Edition。I also really appreciated all the tables and visual aides that were provided in the book。 They're clear， simple， and provide easy-to-understand examples。 Aside from an initial skim of the whole volume， etiquette books tend to become reference tomes and ones that I only grab off the shelf when I have a specific question about something。 Any kind of shortcuts that make it easy to find what you need （like those tables） are super helpful in that moment。I subtracted one star simply for pandering。 I completely support the idea that etiquette needs to grow and change as it reflects the current era's standards， but it feels cringey to throw around trendy terms that are very much in flux and haven't quite solidified yet—especially when some of those topics are already well-covered under the basics of consideration， honesty， and respect。 And I think the team would do well to avoid anything that approaches psychological pronouncements or armchair diagnosing， as that is， well， just plain not the etiquette wheelhouse。 。。。more
