Book Description
Based on the highly acclaimed fifth edition of The Oxford Concise Dictionary of Quotations, this new edition maintains its extensive coverage of literary and historical quotations, and contains completely up-to-date material. A fascinating read and an
essential reference tool, it contains over 9,000 quotations from more than 2,500 authors. The dictionary also has appendices with categories such as "Newspaper headlines and Leaders" and "Official advice." This is the most authoritative paperback
