The book has a most interesting format...personalities are reveled, history is put into a social context, plus the properness of calling cards, the layout of the mansions, and the complications of polite society are all reviewed. It is very educational and utterly entertaining.

This is a beautiful book with copious pictures and sidebar information. I understand Julian Fellows used it as background for his series Downtown Abbey.
