"A cool collection...Any speaker or writer can find a relevant bon mot for almost any occasion...the world's best company, in multitudes, brought together.""Christian Science Monitor""What is fresh and original and effective in this compilation comes not only from its vast coverage of the field of maxim and aphorism, not only from its emphasis on the recent past, not only from its effort to be accurate in source, but from its convenient and supple organization...easily the best of the many available.""Los Angeles Times"

One of the Best General, Subject-organized Quotation Books
1. November 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
There are two kinds of quotation books-- those organized by alphabetically by subject and those organized by alphabetically or Chronologically by Author.
This is one of the best of the subject organized ones, with loads of subject headings (some Quote books only offer 100 or a few hundred. This one is much better and also offers suggestions for other related headings.) I've found the quality of the quotes to be excellent, with a nice mix of contemporary and classic sources.
As an avid quotation and quotation book collector, with over 400 books, some dating back over 400 years, (as well as a website of 1000-- a small fraction of the quotations I've collected) I have to say that this is one I keep handy, along with about 15 or 20 others. If you are a writer, speaker, teacher, etc., or if you are looking for a gift for someone who loves ideas, then this book is a very worthwhile investment.
One useful way to enjoy this book is to read specific topics to get an idea how a lot of different people think about that subject. This can often give you a first introduction to a writer you may want to get to know better. Then, you'll want to, perhaps, next look at a quotation book organized by author, or-- go directly to the works of the author.

Writers tend to buy it after using it once; superb resource.
8. November 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Since another reviewer described this book so well, suffice it to say that if you frequently use quotes in your writing or research, this will be a gold mine. Highly recommend. However, I've only used the 1970 version - am looking forward to seeing what new quotes await in the updated version.

The quotation Bible
1. Februar 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a non-fiction writer, I am enamored with quotes in my work. Although I search the web for quotes, this volume is a handy desktop reference for me to consult when I need that perfect quote without having to stop everything I'm doing. I like it better than some editions of Bartlett's I've used.
