Unlike most formal etiquette books, "Excuse Me, But I Was Next ...": How to Handle the Top 100 Manners Dilemmas by Peggy Post has a sense of wit and reflects normal situations that occur in our everyday lives. From forgetting the name of someone you are introducing to deciding what to tip (or not) when restaurant service is bad, this little book addresses those small but significant issues. What should you do when a friend gives you a gift and you have nothing for him or her? Peggy says not to panic and gives some advice about the whole gift issue. Is it okay to send a condolence note by e-mail? Hmmmm. Peggy has some insights about when e-mail is appropriate and when it might offend. Find all the answers in this new book.

Although the publication date has not been announced, you may now place holds on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the series. We expect that publication is months away, the rumor is July 7th, or 07-07-07 is looking like a good release date for book number 7. We will have 60 copies of the book on order, and will order the spoken CD and large print versions when they are available later this year.
