Stand Up, Shake Hands, Say “How Do You Do”
Young and Buchwald
1969
And we have another youth nonfiction book on etiquette. I am so glad the library involved sent it to the bindery back in the day. Of course any etiquette book that doesn’t address the new technologies is almost worthless. Does it have place somewhere? Sure, send it to an archive so we can preserve the memories those bygone days when people were polite. I do enjoy the etiquette lesson on “towel snapping”.

Good to know that mutual towel-snapping is acceptable! I know that many guys faithfully consult etiquette manuals as they unwind from a tough day on the field.
So, the “right look” is, apparently, “a young Jimmy Carter.”

Copies of this book were offered gratis to various Young Republican organizations in 1969, but they were rejected for being too anal-retentive.
