Review: "We may encounter quotations at any point in the daily torrent of words with which we are likely to be faced: in books, newspapers, or journals, plays or films, on television, radio, or the Internet, or simply in conversation. Oxford's quotations dictionaries allow you both to identify the quotation you have just met, and to find the words which perfectly express that you want to say." "For over 65 years, Oxford has been collecting, sourcing, researching, and authenticating quotations on an international scale. In doing so, it has created the rich language resource from which the Oxford family of quotations dictionaries derives."--BOOK JACKET.
