Sounds like she could have benefited from reading it! Glad you acted responsible about it though!
the SAME thing happened to me and FMIL... when getting to the nitty gritty about who pays for what, FI typed out an email that said "traditionally the grooms family pays for....."
well she didnt agree with what was on the list, so she proceeded to find every website on the internet where she was right and email it to me.
It's actually become a fun game to me, because everytime I'm at a store with books, i go to the wedding section, find an etiquette or planning book, turn to that page that says who "traditionally" pays for what, laugh to myself, close it, and move on... because the two of us were always right.
:)
Those books are so silly, my mom and MIL were passing one back and forth as a joke during our wedding planning. The best part was when my mom read a part about the bride's parents paying for everyone's hotel rooms- she called me in absolute panic!
the child in you thinks a lot like the child in me. as i was reading your post i was thinking that is what i would do. ha!
Mail it back!

MAIL IT BACK!
Copy pages, highlight, send. But that's just childish me :)
Haha... it actually got me MAD! Only because she has been acting extremely selfish about the whole wedding planning process. I emailed her and told her that the four of us- my father, fiance, she, and I- all needed to really sit down and talk like grown ups. This was getting out of hand! Do I bring up her poor etiquette? Or is that bad etiquette on my part? HA
I would be so tempted to type up a list of everything it says she shoudl be doing to help you and then say how happy you are that she's going to XYZ! "That book was so helpful, thanks for explaining it all!" hehe
Oh gosh - I love etiquette books for that reason. People in general believe in bad etiquette!
I love the phrase, "But you are suppose to...<fill in the blank>" because it's usually not right!

HA! HAHAHAHA!!!! Momzilla... previously ranted and raved about regarding her horrid behavior thus far with my wedding planning took it upon herself to purchase a book entitled "The Essential Guide to Wedding Etiquette" and sent it off to me. She felt that the book would help me to realize that she has been right.
WELL... i was flipping through the book on my lunch hour and it turns out that according to etiquette standards for today's wedding planning. My mom and dad's behavior thus far is completely BAD etiquette!
The adult in me, of course, thanked her for the book and told her that I feel it has a lot to offer.
The child in me wants to highlight the parts that point out how bad her and my father are behaving and mail it back!
