Familiar Quotations
John Bartlett
Who actually said it? The ninth edition of Bartlett is where the hunt ends: passages, phrases and proverbs traced to their exact sources in ancient and modern literature, nearly half a million words of verified attribution. The 1905 Little, Brown printing of the reference that made quotation-checking a science. Settle the argument, then start three more.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
