Investment Banking Etiquette Books

Can anyone recommend any books that they have read that they find especially helpful in maintaining an professional etiquette at the workplace? Not to say that etiquette in IB is totally different then other places, but there does appear to be some subtle differences, especially when communicating your thoughts to superiors. Any suggestions?

Hello Kiddies, Believe it or not, we live in the same world that you do, with the same etiquette and social rules. We even wear the same clothes as others do. Believe it or not, we don't have special bankers' watches either.

Anyone who tells you otherwise did not make it pass checking out our shoes at the information sessions because they couldn't work up the balls to speak to us.

Regards, The Management

Fuck that, I have a special banker watch.

Couldn't agree more. Seriously, are you people that fucking socially inept? You've spent your entire lives with your sniveling noses burried in books that you cannot even participate in the everyday world with reading a book about how to do it. This post, in addition to the many similar posts (what kind of socks to bankers wear? where do bankers buy their q-tips? what kind of boxers do bankers wear(this was a serious post)) are all a testament to the legitimate motivation behind classic posts on this board asking advice on how to get the attention of a girl... (remember the guy who saw a grl was in a running group on facebook and wanted to show up to their running session in central park?)
