This wasn't what I expected at all. I thought it was going to be a reference for all those pithy, wonderful sayings that are part of the language that we hear people say and wonder who said them first, what they mean exactly, and the context for them. No, this book is full of quotations I've never heard anyone say and left me wondering "familiar to whom?" Archaic, irrelevant, meaningless nonsense. I couldn't even read it all, but glanced through every few pages and didn't find anything of interest or value.
