If you could have dinner with three people, living or dead, who would it be? It's a question we've been asked many times in college applications and uncomfortable icebreakers. But just because it's commonplace, it doesn't mean the question should be taken lightly. If you invited Abraham Lincoln, would he arrive pre-assassination, or would you have to stare at his gaping head wound all through dinner? (See also: Marie Antoinette.) If you ate Chinese food with Mozart, would you have to explain the concept of Chow Fun? Would guests get along? Would fights break out? There are innumerable unthought questions and variables to consider, and thankfully, now you don't have to, with The Official Dream Dinner Party Handbook! Complete with advice on tableware and etiquette, plus comprehensive lists of potential invitees, your next dream dinner party is sure to be a success with this hilarious new book from author Gary M. Almeter.

FINALLY someone answers the oldest question known to Man, who to invite to your dream dinner? THIS book should be in every hotel room. -Times bestseller Bob Eckstein, The Illustrated History of the Snowman
Banish awkward dinner-party lulls forever! How? By first serving The Official Dream Dinner Party Handbook to all your guests. ODDPH will find a happy resting place in bathrooms throughout the land, even yours. Bon appétit. -Michael Shaw, The New Yorker cartoonist and co-author of The Elements of Stress
Gary M. Almeter finally gets to the heart and the truth of that age-old mental exercise and really explores what's a very strange concept for everything it's worth. He's a so-called, self-proclaimed expert on the subject of imaginary dinner parties, sure, but his skills in making the silly seem smart and the smart seem silly are downright delicious. -Brian Boone, How to Be an Old Person
The Official Dream Dinner Party Handbook dishes up a rib-tickling feast for the funny bone that's sure to leave you more stuffed than my collection of taxidermied celebrities! -Andy Clambake Elvis Spain, author of Cash Grab
