Thread Name: Folklore: Do you have songbooks with toasts?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Do you have songbooks with toasts?
Thanks for everyone responding. I have most of the antique toast books (aprox. 150 books). Previous to about 1850 there were no books that were *just* books of toasts. What one would find instead is that there were songbooks which would have a selection of toasts -- usually in the back.   

Since I have started to collect such books, I thought that it would be less expensive to *trade* digital copies of the songsters instead of purchasing them. I don't have the $ to purchase everything that I would like and thought that trading would help everyone....
