Afraid not. I'm sure books on hospitality exist, but I doubt any of them are tweaked to help get you laid in the process.

If you run into any, be sure to post them here.

That's true. However much can be learned from the art itself.
There's no doubt many classic books circa 1960's on hosting
dinner parties and the hostess.

Probably not necessary for getting laid, although they could offer
some great ideas regarding presentation, layout, glassware, decor etc.

I think that if one was to become serious about something related to hosting, I think there would be some other directions to go before being too concerned about the things you've listed, with the exception of décor.

Most everything related to presentation, layout and glassware could be studied on the Internet. Honestly, a few web pages should bring anyone up to speed.

If you were going to do some serious reading, I'd suggest getting very good at cooking mind blowing food, plating that food or get focused on your interior decorating.

Once you have the basics down and have the very basic equipment that you need (as I've listed above), it quickly becomes about learning to be a friendly, gracious host....basically just game, in the comfortable environment of your own home or wherever you are hosting.

Feel free to prove me wrong, however. There may be a wealth of considerations that I've never even though about regarding presentation or layout.

If you come up with anything or do discover some books that up your party host game, be sure to share it here.

Personally, my next goal is to learn some flair bartending.
