"I love Philip Galanes' New York Times column! And the book is a must! Social Q's is a beacon of light in the foggy haze of today's world."

"Philip Galanes has made a name for himself as a weekly columnist doling out important advice on social etiquette and now has collected all this wisdom in one terrific book called Social Q's. But all this leaves me to wonder what an expert on social etiquette was thinking when he asked a busy woman in the throes of redecorating her apartment to take valuable time away from her rabbit to write a book blurb?"

"Philip knows his way around an awkward situation—but enough about us!"
