About this ebook
For a decade, James Valentine has conducted a weekly forum on his radio program called the Form Guide. People call in seeking advice on sticky social problems. they present their dilemma and then other people start calling in with solutions. Now all this invaluable advice is in book form! the Form Guide engages with such critical issues as: When you take a bottle of Champagne to a dinner party, should the host serve it or can they keep it? Or, what do you do when your neighbour's dog uses your lawn to do its business? And how do you approach your workmate about his appalling flatulence? there is nothing here about curtseying to the Queen, seating people at weddings, or how to organise a debutante ball. there is, however, advice on public flossing, plumbers using a toilet they've been fixing, and the appropriateness of G-string twanging. the Form Guide's about us. It's about you. It's a hilarious but helpful book about all those important little social things that can send us right up the wall.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A funny book of exerpts from James Valetine's Radio program where people ring in with a problem and others give their opinion of the etiquette of how to deal with it. The majority is how it is all descided. Great read and in some respects surprising.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The style was a little bit perturbing at first, but I soon got used to it. This book actually consists of snippets from the author's radio program. Listeners call in with a social dilemma, and other callers call in to say what they would do in that situation. I actually found some of the answers quite fascinating because they were dilemmas I had experienced for myself. Then there were other situations I am glad to have avoided. I was appalled, for example, to read about a person who threw a dinner party and, at the end of the night, demanded $50 a head to pay for the meal!Each chapter is opened with a humorous 'then and now' type description by the author, breaking up the potential for monotony. I would say this is an amusing book and well worth reading.
