这本便于读者阅读的书包含了12000多句名言，按作者的字母顺序排列。它的独特之处在于它对美国语录的关注，它不仅包括文学和历史来源的条目，还包括流行文化、体育、计算机、科学、政治、法律和社会科学。匿名撰写的文章出现在民谣、广告口号、电视流行语、谚语等部分。对于每一个引用，一个来源和第一次使用日期被引用。在许多情况下，这本书的新研究揭示了一个更早的日期或不同的作者，而不是以前所理解的。(是比阿特丽斯·考夫曼（Beatrice Kaufman），而不是索菲·塔克（Sophie Tucker）惊呼道：“我曾经贫穷过，也曾经富有过。有钱更好！”威廉·特库姆塞·谢尔曼并不是“战争是地狱！”是拿破仑。)许多条目都添加了注释，以便为读者澄清含义或上下文。这些有趣的注释，以及广泛的识别相关引文的交叉引用和大型关键字索引，将满足寻找特定信息的读者和喜欢在有趣的页面中漫步的好奇的浏览器。
This reader-friendly volume contains more than 12,000 famous quotations, arranged alphabetically by author. It is unique in its focus on American quotations and its inclusion of items not only from literary and historical sources but also from popular culture, sports, computers, science, politics, law, and the social sciences. Anonymously authored items appear in sections devoted to folk songs, advertising slogans, television catchphrases, proverbs, and others. For each quotation, a source and first date of use is cited. In many cases, new research for this book has uncovered an earlier date or a different author than had previously been understood. (It was Beatrice Kaufman, not Sophie Tucker, who exclaimed, "I've been poor and I've been rich. Rich is better!" William Tecumseh Sherman wasn't the originator of "War is hell!" It was Napoleon.) Numerous entries are enhanced with annotations to clarify meaning or context for the reader. These interesting annotations, along with extensive cross-references that identify related quotations and a large keyword index, will satisfy both the reader who seeks specific information and the curious browser who appreciates an amble through entertaining pages.
