C.C. Gaither
"The book contains a wealth of information. One finds quotations
that one reads for one's own amusement, and one feels the urge to
use again and again. … this book is bound to become successful
because of the riches of its contents."
-The Chemical Intelligencer
"This book is an especially delightful anthology of quotations …
Poetry, humor, history, fact, and wisdom are found here on every
page … The book merits the strongest recommendation and will
probably encourage its readers to look for Statistically Speaking,
an earlier work by the same authors."
-School Science Review
