I must have a dozen or so books of quotations. It's hard to say which one is better than another;one can always find something in any one of them.As far as these compilations go;this one is pretty good and not as expensive as most.It is well constructed with a hard cover,has 448 pages of quotations arranged under 400 subjects.With several quotations under each subject,you should find just the right one to suit your purpose or just your enjoyment.I know I did and here are just a few that took my fancy;

know I'm not dumb and I'm also not blonde."--Dolly Parton

War

Stupidity

A very nice book to read a page at a time. Or just all the entries in the top right hand corner of a number of pages.
Famous contributors, quotable quotes.

There are many sloppy books of quotations. This has put many misattributions into the public vernacular. This book appears to have actually been researched, with notations for dubious attributions. There are many wonderful quotes, and it has been curated by some very well read individuals. I consider it a worthy addition to any personal library.

This is the kind of book you will buy and never part with. It is a masterful collection of masterful minds.
