Is there a publication or any books out there that specifically address the ART of entertaining or hospitality in the home? I have searched the internet diligently and have found nothing but books that offer up little tidbits of info amist many many recipes. I'm not looking for a cookbook and this really ticks me off! I would just like to brush up and fine tune what I already have to offer in the way of entertaining and hospitality. I've been given so many compliments on my home and hospitality I am beginning to think maybe I should just write the darn thing myself. If anyone can point me in the right direction or offer up a book title or series I'd be thankful.

The problem with entertaining is that it should involve food. How do you entertain people? You feed them. You give them something to talk about besides the weather.
I think these books will help you out. They don't contain recipes as far as I can see.

Go look up Emily Post. She has great books about hostessing and entertaining regarding manners and etiquette.
