Somebody has to speak after dinner, and it might be you. The Toaster's Handbook stocks jokes, stories and quotations arranged by topic from Ability onward, with opening chapters on possessing a sense of humor and the craft of the toastmaster, compiled in 1916 for the podium-shy. Borrowed laughter, honestly labeled. Stand up armed.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
