Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. In this revised and expanded edition of The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, you can find (and verify) classic quotes and little known gems - the words of the famous and the notorious, the witty and the wise - in a collection of over 9,000 quotations from more than 2,000 authors. Offering all the authority and accuracy of the acclaimed Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, the Concise now includes recent quotes of the 1990s, as well as new appendices on Sayings of the Nineties, Slogans, and Popular Misquotations. Perhaps the most useful feature of this dictionary is a key-word index, for tracing half-remembered quotations to their authors, or finding quotations on a particular subject.
