Editorial Reviews

"… well indexed and easy to use. … Using humor and scholarship equally, this title does not attempt to be comprehensive or complete but strives to serve as both 'pleasure reading' and 'ready reference' for the general reader and the experienced professional. … this is the title that should be given to selective quotation seekers, who will appreciate its fascinating content. Useful to any audience."
