Familiar Quotations by John Bartlett 

CENTENNIAL [13th] EDITION [1955] LITTLE BROWN & COMPANY

Beautiful mid-century edition of the classic book of quotes. 

Large hardcover sans dust jacket in excellent condition.  Pristine teal cloth with minor shelf wear.  Two pages at rear each have a single mild water stain [see last photo]  otherwise looks and reads like new.

First published in 1855, with quotations presented in chronological order, in the famous BARTLETT'S tradition, BARTLETT'S gives the reader a vast panorama of the world, from the ancient Egyptians to the latest movie, from the inspirational and the beautiful to the sardonic and the downright funny.
