In a vivid\u00a0display of bad manners , I now present\u00a0some reactions to my new book, “Would It Kill You to Stop Doing That?: A Modern Guide to Manners.” Apparently the book is out in paperback and available for purchase.<\/p>\n
“A brilliant primer on gracious living” (VanityFair.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n “Mr. Alford is very funny in describing his conversion from passive recipient of bad behavior to active if subtle scold” (New York Times<\/a>)<\/p>\n “Wickedly witty” (Publisher’s Weekly<\/a>, starred review)<\/p>\n “A nearly always charming account” (Boston Globe<\/a>)<\/p>\n “Pitch perfect…will keep manners mavens in stitches” (Library Journal<\/a>)<\/p>\n “Amuses as it informs” (New York Times Book Review<\/a>)<\/p>\n “Alford is a charming writer, who seems able to spin delightful stuff from whatever straw he happens to stumble across” (Salon.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n “Alford weds the inspired lunacy of David Sedaris to the philosophic enquiry of “The Ethicist” column in the New York Times” (Whole Living)<\/p>\n “Extremely entertaining” (BookPage<\/a>)<\/p>\n “Seriously entertaining” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)<\/a><\/p>\n “A writer as cheekily charming as he is helpful” (Oprah magazine)<\/p>\n “A valuable premise of the book is manners and etiquette aren’t neccessarily the same…[Alford’s] self-effacing tone and dry sense of humor help to unify” (Washington Post<\/a>)<\/p>\n
