Recenzje

"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
