I picked this book up in a store to browse through while waiting for the wife to finish shopping. Started laughing so hard at some of the entries, I had to wipe the tears away. Other sayings were insightful and wise. Ended up walking out of the store with it.
It's great for the bathroom or bedside. Easy to pick up and put down at any time. The reason I'm here writing this is because I plan on purchasing some copies for relatives as gifts.

This review is from: Phillips' Book of Great Thoughts & Funny Sayings: A Stupendous Collection of Quotes, Quips, Epigrams, Witticisms, and Humorous Comments. For Personal Enjoyment and Ready Reference. (Paperback)
Probably would best serve entry level speakers. Quick reference for simple needs. The kind of stuff "Inro to Speech" in college was made of. Sparce, very sparce, on the humorous side and lacking citations for many quotations. I'll keep it on the shelf but it won't be the first place I look for quotes or quips.
