The Protocol & Etiquette Institute
WASHINGTON DC

The Protocol & Etiquette Institute (P&EI Washington) conducts on-going research in multiple disciplines (protocol/etiquette, cross-cultural/international relations, convention/event planning, etc.) and through multiple sources (United States Library of Congress, World Wide Web, Antique Books,  Interviews, etc.)

As voracious readers, our professional libraries comprise hundreds and hundreds ... why I think it must be thousands ... of volumes.

________________________________________

The desire for knowledge, like the thirst for riches,
increases with the acquisition of it.

Laurence Sterne, 1760

We read books to find out who we are.  What other people, real or
imaginary, do and think and feel is an essential guide to our
understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.
 

Ursula K. LaGuin
