This is an anthology of epigrams and quotations on a wide variety of subjects. It has been said that a man will turn over half a library to make a book, and it is clear that if he has not turned over half a library, Mr Kent Wright has read hundreds of books in order to distil his nectar. Whether he is dealing with mundane subjects such as money, smoking, eating and drinking, with professions such as doctors or lawyers, or with abstract subjects such as philosophy, economics, psychology, war or democracy, he somehow succeeds in getting at the very quintessence of the matter.No Dust Jacket illustrated wraps, price unclipped (2s. 6d) back of cover is marked, blue lettering on front and spinem, sunned endpapers, otherwise clean tight copy in good condition, 112pp Fifth impression 1945 published by George Allen & Unwin Also available companion volume Ambrosia By Request and listed on ABE Book#09104.
