The Art of the Visit is an invaluable resource for the socially minded. During tough economic periods people tend to visit with family and friends for a mini-vacation instead of taking more expensive trips. This practical and humorous guide establishes the ground rules for successfully spending time with those people who are most dear to us. Full of anecdotes from the author's experiences, The Art of the Visit illustrates the dos and don'ts of extended visiting from start to finish so that the reader can become the perfect host and/or the perfect guest.

      Anyone who has had a houseguest overstay their welcome or wondered how to ask their host to accommodate a dietary restriction without giving offense or being a burden will welcome Bertone's book. Not a traditional etiquette manual--no talk of finger bowls or which fork to use here!--this is a straightforward guide to cultivating and maintaining relationships with friends and family in your home or theirs. Bertone explains how to ask the right questions before your guests arrive, manage your own and their expectations, and choose the right host(ess) gift, regardless of the length of your stay. A chapter on hosting and visiting with pets will be especially useful for many people. VERDICT A helpful and unique book, this answers many common questions and will help both hosts and guests relax and enjoy each other's company.--Stephanie Klose, Library Journal
