Cloth. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Reprint. Hrdcover. Everyman's Dictionary of Quotations and Proverbs. Slight foxing to edge. Slight scratches to cloth. Rolled spine. Blue cloth with gilt lettering. Containing just over 10,000 quotations and proverbs, this dictionary is to all intents and purposes an entirely new compilation.

Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.).…
