The Oxford dictionary of phrase, saying, and quotation

About this book

"This brand new edition of a favourite Oxford classic brings together well-chosen words from across the centuries on a broad range of subjects, from Absence to Youth. New themes such as Computers and the Internet ('It's not a bug, it's a feature') have been added, and coverage of traditional topics has been extended. Each theme uniquely offers the reader their pick of phrases, sayings, and quotations on a given subject, and explores the links between individual items. A new design and layout adds clarity and accessibility. A full keyword index, and generous cross-referencing, allow the book to function both as a look-up resource and a browser's delight"--Publisher's description.
