“Helpful to anyone who ever expects to be called on to give a toast.”—Library Journal

For nearly thirty years, Paul Dickson’s Toasts has been the perfect reference for any occasion where one needs to raise a glass. Organized by category, it contains sayings famous and profound, suitable and sentimental. Covering births, weddings, graduations, and other events both major and minor, Dickson also provides a history of the toast, and a guide on how to do it well. Revised for the first time since 1991, this new edition of Toasts is as useful as ever.
