The Best of the Best

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago

Probably the most erudite and witty collection of quotes I've run into. It's not a large book, but what's there is choice. It's one of the few books that I honestly can say I savored.The editor has picked older and less well-known quotes; for a reader who enjoys language, humor and perspective which bridge the centuries, this is a very enjoyable read.
