The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Quotations (Oxford Paperback Reference) - Softcover
Now based on the highly acclaimed fifth edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, this new edition maintains its extensive coverage of literary and historical quotations, and contains completely up-to-date material from today's influential literary and cultural figures. This is the most authoritative paperback dictionary of quotations available. A fascinating read and an essential reference tool, it contains over 9,000 quotations from more than 2,500 authors.
