4.0 out of 5 stars 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Into the Real World
This book makes a great graduation gift for the kids who know all there is to know about computers, but haven't learned some of life's basics like writing a decent thank you note, proposing a wedding toast or carving a turkey (a favorite test given by future fathers-in-law to unsuspecting young men). The instructions are humorous, clear and mercifully brief. I think...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift for Graduating Students, March 17, 2004

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rising to the Occasion: A Practical Companion for the Occasionally Perplexed (Hardcover)
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!
