Random House Webster's Wit & Humor Quotationary

Summary: People will believe you . . .
Review: . . . if you tell them Benjamin Franklin said it first. While great quotations are fun for everyone, they are particularly useful to the author or professional speaker seeking confirmation of his or her premise.

This book is entertaining, uplifting and a valuable resource. The book categorizes the quotations by author and, unlike most books of quotations, it provides background information on the person such as the dates of birth and death as well as his or her occupation. The Index references the quotations by subject.

As a publisher, author of 26 Books, over 90 revised editions, six translations, 51 reports and over 500 magazine articles, I spend a lot of time looking for appropriate quotations. I need the best tools. This book is a great tool. [e-mail].

Review: There's not a whole lot to be said for the Wit and Humor Quotationary -- except that it's the funniest, wittiest book of quotations I've ever seen.
