Yes, there's a need for this newly updated Miss Manners' Guide To Excruciatingly Correct Behavior, as older editions fail to address such modern problems as how to handle a ringing cell phone in church and how to seek recompense for the dangers of mental lapse which cause a present lover to be called by a former lover's name. A lively question-and-answer format offers the familiar format of Miss Manners' own columns and allows her sense of gentle admonishment and fun to shine while surveying the latest etiquette challenges.
