Great Gift for Graduating Students
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I bought this book years ago and still use it as my first source when I have a question about a odd "occasion." It is as handy as my "Hints from Heloise" book and I give it to people graduating from high school and college just to show them what they don't know!
Perfect for many occasions

I found this book in a used book store and bought it on a whim. It's a great reference and an amusing read. I have found many occasions to pass it on to others, graduations, housewarming, gifts for departing interns, etc. Give someone a chuckle and a leg up, they'll be glad you did.
