It is intended to serve students, speakers, and writers seeking appropriate illustrative quotations and includes as entry terms common words such as group as well as technical terms such as Gesellschaft.

Each quotation is followed by the author's name, title, and date of the source of the quotation. The author and subject indexes and the Selected Bibliography add to the value of this generally useful resource.-Reference Books Bulletin
