“It’s better to know and not need this knowledge than to need what you don’t know,” the grandmother often said, along the way explaining to her granddaughter how to use a napkin and cutlery, write business letters correctly and behave decently in public. The granddaughter grew up to become the famous actress Liv Tyler, but is still grateful for the lessons in good manners from her grandmother, Dorothy Johnson, founder of the Washington School of Protocol and a recognized expert on etiquette. Now her lessons are available to us. In her elegantly designed and tastefully published book, Dorothy talks about the rules of conduct in the office and restaurant, at social events and on social networks. And Liv touchingly comments on her recommendations. A useful guide for those who want to feel confident and comfortable in any life situation.
