商品簡介
One of those indispensable reference volumes that is also good fun for the trivia challenged containing 6,000 one liners from antiquity to Monty Python. The quotes are arranged by subject heading and also cross referenced by author, providing publication information, specific chapter or scene, and name of the character speaking if applicable. For example, Aesop, the 6th century fabulist, coined this gem in Fables , "Do not count your chickens before they are hatched." Who knew? Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
