Nesbit, Wilbur D., edited by. Chicago, P.F. Volland & Company, 1909, 3rd. edition. Pictorial paper cover secured with ribbon. A delightful book of toasts which shows it's age with toasts such as "To Julia Ward Howe" and"To The Christy Girl". Cover is marred by loss of paper on illustration. Rear cover has the same illustration without damage. Bottom corner missing.

Produced before the era of political correctness, these stirrers display the trifecta of offensiveness, embodying elements of racism, sexism, and ageism. If you don't enjoy this kind of rib tickling, back slapping humor . then you've obviously evolved. Your guests are supposed to "bust" out laughing when they see how "Zulu Lulu" transforms fron "nifty at 15" to "droopy at 40" A real laugh riot...

Phelps, Idelle, compilied by. Philadelphia, George W. Jacobs & Co., 1906. Illustrated boards with cloth spine beautifully illustrated throughout in black and orange by Helen Alden Knipe. A book of toasts for all occasions.
