this is a fantastic book to have around to read thoroughly or just to browse at your leisure. the quotes and comments vary a great deal covering many different issues and situations.

this book would come in especially handy for an individual who speaks in public. chances are if you're looking for an ice breaker or a clever anecdote, it's in this book.

organized. intelligent. a nice addition to any library.

4.0 out of 5 stars delightful, July 22, 2006

By	Colin Bayler (Plymouth, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Neither Great nor Funny, March 8, 2002

By A Customer

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.
