For the US:
Go into the next book store and look for books from Emily Post and Judith Martin, a.k.a. Miss Manners. Both authored several classic etiquette books.
Regarding table settings I would check out the cooking section. By now there are cookbooks that specialize in event and party dining and give hints and suggestions about proper table settings etc.
Judith Martin:
* Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior
* Miss Manners Rescues Civilization: From Sexual Harassment, Frivolous Lawsuits, Dissing and Other Lapses in Civility
* Common Courtesy: In Which Miss Manners Solves the Problem That Baffled Mr. Jefferson
* Miss Manners' Guide to the Turn-of-the-Millennium
* Miss Manners' Basic Training: Communication
* Miss Manners' Basic Training: The Right Thing To Say
* Miss Manners' Basic Training: Eating
* Star-Spangled Manners
For UK:
Check with Debretts. They have a volume about etiquette and manners beside the genealogy and advice regarding proper address, the season, and weddings.

Amazon.com has books you can order on line that are simple to complicated on etiquette and manners. Also on career interviews, dress etc. Just search in those areas.

Amazon should have several but anything patterning Emily Post will do well. http://www.bartleby.com/95/
