“Titles and forms of address change occasionally. Hickey, the foremost authority on these matters, has now given us a must-have guide for everyone who does business in the United States and internationally. Every office and library should have a copy of this book! In our fast-paced world, it is more important than ever to know how to address people properly, and doing it correctly will always matter.”

Ambassador Mary Mel French, Chief of Protocol for the United States, 1997–2001, and author of United States Protocol: The Guide to Official Diplomatic Etiquette

"Honor and Respect is the most comprehensive reference for appropriate titles, forms of address, and honorifics. Hickey’s third edition additionally provides style guidelines, supplementary examples, and revised formulae that recognize and attend to current-day convention. Once again, his vast knowledge of diplomacy and protocol delivers a five-star guide."
 

Ambassador Capricia Penevic Marshall, Chief of Protocol for the United States, 2009–13

"Honor & Respect is an indispensable resource for government officials, businesspeople, and academics alike. I don't travel without consulting it first and invariably appreciate the quality and accessibility of its content. Hickey continues to provide a great service to the diplomatically minded with his latest edition."
 

Ambassador Peter Selfridge, Chief of Protocol for the United States, 2014–17

"Hickey’s Honor and Respect is the source we turn to at The Emily Post Institute for detailed information on using names and titles appropriately. Not only does Hickey offer history for each term, but his examples are also a huge aid in figuring out what can sometimes be complex constructions and variations on titles that can confuse even the people holding them! This book is not just a wonderful and impressive resource, it’s an important slice of American life that sociologists especially will value for generations to come."

Lizzie Post, copresident, The Emily Post Institute and coauthor with Daniel Post Senning of Emily Post's Etiquette, The Centennial Edition
