Is it proper etiquette to give a book on etiquette as a gift?

* It depends on who you are giving the book too. If you are giving it to a teen in the family it's fine, but if you are giving it to a friend or girlfriend or even a boyfriend it's not a good idea as they may think you are putting down their manners. Manners today are extremely lax, but, it's a good idea to learn proper etiquette for future use.
