Opera pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1952 col titolo «Amy Vanderbilt’s Complete Book of Etiquette: A Guide To Gracious Living» (Garden City, NY, Doubleday & Company) e recensione sul «New York Times» del 19 ottobre 1952.
L'attribuzione a Warhol delle illustrazioni sul buon gusto a tavola risulta evidente dalla collaborazione con l'autrice per un altro libro, specificamente dedicato all'arte cucinaria, «Amy Vanderbilt’s Complete Cookbook», pubblicato nel 1961, che presenta disegni simili, di carattere lineare e geometrico: "Amy Osborne Vanderbilt was an author, celebrity, and expert on the rules of etiquette. She rose to fame in 1952, when she wrote «Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Book of Etiquette», which is still in print. In 1954, Vanderbilt became the host of the popular television show «It’s in Good Taste. And in 1961, she wrote «Amy Vanderbilt’s Complete Cookbook», compilation of popular recipes and cooking techniques that was published by Doubleday & Company, Incorporated. The cookbook was illustrated by Andy Warhol, who contributed about a hundred simple pen and ink line drawings, depending on how you count them. [(nota n. 23): The style of Warhol's drawings for Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Cookbook was much simpler and more conventional than his signature blotted-line drawings: «Warhol: … well, when I was doing commercial work, I did a lot of straight line things, you know, without the blotted lines… - Smith: Like Amy Vanderbilt‟s…? - Warhol: … Shoe illustrations and things like that with a, you know, a hard tight line, a mechanical line» (Patrick Smith, «Warhol: Conversations About the Artist» 340, 1988)]" (Brian L. Frye, «The Art of the Token», in: STANFORD JOURNAL OF BLOCKCHAIN LAW & POLICY, Vol. 5.2, 2022; pp. 253-256).
