Book: Rising To The Occasion: A Practical Companion For The Occasionally Perplexed Social skills like writing a thank-you note or making an introduction and practical skills like replacing a pane of glass or a missing button are fast becoming lost arts. Hazard and Pinfold cover opening a bottle of champagne, unclogging a sink, entertaining a child, backing a trailer, tying a tie, and more. Illustrations throughout.
A witty cross between an etiquette book and a Boy Scout manual, RISING TO THE OCCASION covers everything from opening a bottle of champagne to unclogging a sink with step-by-step instructions and easy-to-follow diagrams. "Give this practical charmer to a young person in need of savoir faire, or keep it for yourself--all of us need a little help."--San Antonio Express-News. A LITERARY GUILD SELECTION. Now in its 7th printing.
