Summary: Well Organized Quotation Book
Comment: This is very well organized book, the quotations are arranged alphabetically by themes (life, death, love, forgiveness, the old age, past, etc.) and then arranged by index, you can look up any word, eg. Peace, peaceably, peacefully, peace-time). Unlike other quotations book I used before. Topics range this book covers are wide and have more quotations (about 5,000) more than Bartlett Quotation book I own. However this is less bulky and easier to have a reference book on the side
Rating: 1
Summary: Many better collections are available.
Comment: I bought this book by mail hoping that it would be another fascinating book of quotations. Actually, it ranks quite low among the collections available. Look, for example, at "The Penguin Book of Twentieth-Century Quotations," and similar ones edited by John M. Cohen and/or M. J. Cohen. You will not be able to resist browsing through them for a long time. This book is less attractive. What purpose is served by the space devoted to lists of cliches: In cold blood, down memory lane, live and let live, etc.? The quotations are often trite, seldom interesting.
