If you need pithy lines, humourous asides, or something light to say about a lot of things then this book is for you but if you want a meaningful image of say, "Summer" then you won't find it in this book. Someone who just wants one book of sayings but wishes to cover the whole nine yards requires a broader application of quotations.

Amazon as Amazoning as ever!
