I got this book as a stocking stuffer for my Dad (loves John Wayne movies) this Christmas and he has really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how it would go over because he's not a big reader but, since it's mostly quotes, it is easy for him to pick up and put down whenever he feels like it. Browsing... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 16. |  | The Yale Book of Quotations
from Yale University Press
Price: $34.32
Customer Review:
Yale Bk of Quotations was a suggestion from the Wall Street Journal of essential resource books to have in a home library. Since we already have Bartlett's (doesn't everyone?) we purchased the Yale Book. Great idea. More current, more "pop" language, more American English oriented. A great choice.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 20. |  | Lend Me Your Ears: Great Speeches in History
from W. W. Norton & Company
Customer Review:
Safire's collection is, without exception, the best set of speeches out there today. The only competition is Copeland's book and, while Copeland's is more wide-ranging and diverse, Safire reprints the speeches in their entirety. Enormously helpful. Has all of the ones you know should be in there -... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
