Much has changed in the thorny area of how to address people since this book was first published in 1970. This completely revised edition provides a clear, concise guide to all aspects of addressing people at the end of the 20th century. It deals with writing letters, invitations, official and social occasions, royalty and the peerage and concentrates on social styles and acceptable usage. The changing role of women is reflected in more detailed information on how they should be addressed in their more prominent roles in society and there is recognition of the more multicutural nature of society today.
