Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term
traité de
Here's my try (it's not refined at all, just a patchwork of the words for understanding):
Abundant publications (XXX etiquette, home economics classes and fashion magazines) had been studied up to this point from the angle of politeness, etiquette, fashion or style, but never from the angle of consumption models. These publications targeted the middle class and, more particularly, the new, rising social stratum desiring to adopt a behavior according to their new position.
I was wondering if "in the form of" would work?
Thanks.

Non-PRO (1): Richard Nice
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I could agree to 'guide', or 'handbook' (as Louis suggested, not I!) — but somehow, to me, 'guidebook' has specifically a touristy ring to it... ???

Yes - I think Manual is better.
