So perhaps it would be a good idea to compare them and see which might better meet your needs.Both are important works of reference; both are authoritative. Bartlett's latest edition, the 17th is from 2002 while this, the latest Oxford, is from 1999 with a reprint...

The book is well laid-out, and now contains short descriptions of the authors of quotations. The book's index is also very good, not quite as extrardinary as Bartlett's, but you will be able to find almost any quotation from...
