John Bridges, Bryan Curtis Gentleman Raises His Glass

Annotation

A Gentleman Raises His Glass teaches how to prepare a toast for virtually any occasion - be it a wedding, a celebratory dinner, or any social celebration where a tribute would be welcome. It is a book that is concise, affordable, and attractively packaged.A Gentleman Raises His Glass also tells the history of the toast, gives examples of the wrong thing to say, and contains more than 50 aphorisms on toasting:A gentleman knows that, unless he is seated in a crowded, public restaurant, he must stand to deliver a toast.When a gentleman makes a toast, he makes it directly to his guest of honor, not to the table at large.A gentleman knows that a toast, even at a bachelor's dinner, is still intended to be a tribute-not an embarrassment.
