"Debrett's People of Today 2002" contains essential information on 32,000 leading figures in British society. Unlike similar works of reference, "Debrett's People of Today" does not guarantee entry for life, with each edition being carefully researched, updated and revised. A significant number of the entrants are de-selected each year to allow inclusion of many new achievers for the first time. Leading figures are included from a range of diverse sectors including business, politics, academia, the arts, media, sports and science. "Debrett's People of Today" lists the correct way to write to each entrant and provides a synopsis of Debrett's advice on correct forms of address, titles and decorations.
