If you're looking for a title to your novel or original screenplay, start with this exhaustive compilation of the great quotations of the world. Another reason to use it is to find out whether it was Mark Twain or H. L. Mencken who first said dotty things about California!

I love this book. One holiday when money was tight, it showed up under the tree. Long on my wish list, but much too expensive at the time to buy, my husband had listened and there it was. So many times when a phrase runs through one's mind or an occasion requires just the right words, the first place I look is this book. Every library should include a copy.

The index is great for finding quotations by the word you remember (assuming the word is actually in the quote) However, one of my favorite things to do is to peruse the main body of the work which is in chronological order by author. It gives you a flavor of individual authors as well as the style and concerns of different periods of English literature.

Any serious writer, and even those not so serious, will benefit by having this book as a handy reference. I keep my copy close to the computer and use it often. I can't imagine not having it in my own personal library.

I have repeatedly used a previous edition and purchased this for a niece and great niece to have as a resource for everyday quotation questions.
It is an essential library addition.
