Rezensionen

Gone are the days when a book of quotations was just that--a list of bons mots arranged by author or subject, usually accompanied by the source of the quote. Now the expression must be explained (both in and out of context), its source discussed, and its content compared with what others have said, an approach that meets with varying degrees of success. With its lengthy bibliography and copious "Notes" section, Keyes's book has a much more scholarly tone than Tad Tuleja's Quirky Quotations ( LJ 8/92). There is also an extensive keyword index and author index. This talky tome will appeal more to borrowers than to reference librarians. Buy one for each if your budget allows.
