Good manners make a comeback | The Tennessean on day true story
GentleManners relaunch
The first book in the GentleManners series, John Bridges' How To Be a Gentleman, was released in 1998 — when the Internet was just gaining steam and social media was socially absent. Today, technology has changed so much about how we interact. As a result, Thomas Nelson is relaunching How To Be a Gentleman and a collection of other titles in its GentleManners series.
"It's a perennial topic, one that is always in need of use," says Joel Miller, vice president of acquisitions and editorial in the Nonfiction Trade Group at Thomas Nelson Inc. "So we decided at this point to make sure we were being good stewards of that brand."
Here are the books in the Gentle
Manners series:
• How To Be a Gentleman, John Bridges
• A
Gentleman Entertains, John Bridges and Bryan Curtis
• As a Gentleman Would Say, John Bridges and Bryan Curtis
• A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up, John Bridges and Bryan Curtis
