{"product_id":"9781581574999","title":"The Shaker's Guide to Good Manners","description":"The intimate guide to life as a Shaker in 19th century America\u003cbr\u003e\"Never make more free with your inferiors than you are willing they should make with you; it learns them to be saucy.\" Such sage words of advice come from Mother Ann Lee's Society of the Shakers, who in 1844 published A Juvenile Guide, or Manual of Good Manners, Consisting of Counsels, Instructions, \u0026amp; Rules of Deportment for the Young. Known for their piety, their economy, and (perhaps most famously) their celibacy, the Shakers knew a thing or two about etiquette and proper decorum. With this incredible artifact of a bygone era, you can experience what it was like to live in a rural 19th century religious community, where children were taught to \"be careful not to talk too loud, nor too much\" and to \"always have a place for every thing, and keep every thing in its place.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Countryman Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040931627248,"sku":"9781581574999","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781581574999_p0.jpg?v=1763782838","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781581574999","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
