With a combination of his best tips from the first book and a wealth of new information, The Pocket Butler is the perfect basic overview for anyone looking for that extra edge in business and in life. In addition to revisiting topics such as how to present a business card, shake hands, or set a table, The Pocket Butler offers advice on e-mail and text messaging etiquette, how to set up a modern greeting line in a boardroom, foolproof menu plans for every entertaining scenario, and much more. In his signature unfussy and approachable style, Charles shows how modern manners are more important than ever before, not only for those just entering the workforce, but for all professionals at any stage in their careers. Review: VERY helpful book - I was invited to several dinner parties. Knowing very little about the hosts/hostesses (they were acquaintances), I didn't know if a hostess gift(or what type of gift) was appropriate. I came across this little book written by a butler with years of experience. I got a LOT more than I was expecting! This book is full of advice and tips from table setting, hostess gifts, how to brew tea, which wine to serve, even menu plans for social and business dinners/luncheons, and much more. It's a pocket book, but full of very useful tips for entertaining. Review: Now you know how to fold the napkin on your lap! - I totally enjoyed this little book. Of course, a lot is basics, but there were some things I didn't know like how to fold the napkin for your lap. How he suggests to do it makes total sense now to me. While the advice is tailored more to elegant dinners and high powered meetings, there is still a lot to take away as good suggestions for every day life, for instance, how to hand over a business card or how to make introductions. It is a lovely little gem. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,470,728 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #428 in Business Image & Etiquette #541 in Etiquette Guides & Advice #8,885 in How-to & Home Improvements | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 98 Reviews | ## Images ![The Pocket Butler: A Compact Guide to Modern Manners, Business Etiquette and Everyday Entertaining - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71k0uerGClL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ VERY helpful book *by K***P on August 19, 2015* I was invited to several dinner parties.

Not all of the content had me specifically in mind, but I nonetheless learned a lot. I have a small one-bedroom apartment and am a senior citizen. I'm not inclined to throw social gatherings in my home nor do I frequent formal dining tables, but while there are rules and guidelines for such events, I nonetheless learned that a woman in a skirt should enter a cab last so as not to have to struggle to slide in. I learned how to insert a note or a letter at the back of the envelope, not the front. While I have spoken at dinner while holding cutlery in my hand, I learned that such behavior is bad etiquette, easily remedied by putting my cutlery down before speaking. And I never liked people blowing their nose at the dinner table, and I was glad to learn that Mr. MacPherson states such behavior is bad etiquette. Take yourself to the bathroom to blow your nose, and don't talk with your mouth full. I also learned the trick to decant wine so as not to allow the sediment to enter a poured glass of wine. And I acquired a new list of different kinds of cheeses like Picodon, Emmental and Tomme, which I had never even heard of. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Pocket Butler: A Compact Guide to Modern Manners, Business Etiquette and Everyday Entertaining - The Pocket Butler's Guide to Good Housekeeping: Expert Advice on Cleaning, Laundry and Home Maintenance - The Pocket Butler's Guide to Travel: Essential Advice for Every Traveller, from Planning and Packing to Making the Most of Your Trip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14514664-the-pocket-butler-a-compact-guide-to-modern-manners-business](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14514664-the-pocket-butler-a-compact-guide-to-modern-manners-business) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
