In my view, this volume is the very first volume of quotations that anyone should consider buying. The publisher has a more recent collection by a different editor. It pales in comparison to this one. 16,000 quotations in 1067 categories. Admirably meticulous citation of sources. A good "Index of Authors and Sources" (sadly, those who have been quoted more than 75 times get only a star (*), not the first 75 or the like). Can be obtained at shockingly low prices through ABEBooks. ( )
