This review is from: The Dictionary of Quotations (Hardcover)
Amazon completely fails to distinguish between the magnificent original of 2000 pages, with 1200 pages of subject (word, phrase) index alone, and the subsequent emasculation by Avenel, Random House, et al, with the invaluable Index expunged. The many copies offered by Amazon all appear to be abridgements, altho none states so, these beginning in 1978 by Avenel, of the 1968 original, which was by far the best of its kind on the market, but only because of the superlative Index. The original was published by Delacorte, and none of its owners appear willing to part with it for any price. The abridgements, sans index, are no bargain, even at 79 cents!
