Great Jewish Quotations: By Jews and About Jews

Rating:
Summary: A cornerstone of any personal or synagoge collection.
Review: Arranged alphabetically by the individual being quoted, each entry in Great Jewish Quotations: By Jews And About Jews is explicitly annotated, indicating the source and date of the quotation, and where appropriate, explaining its context. Culled from a vast array of sources, written and spoken, this exhaustive and monumental work contains the words of Jews and non-Jews on matters relating to Judaism and the Jewish people. Great Jewish Quotations is an invaluable and handy resource book for writers, public speakers, students, and non-specialist general readers seeking an apt illustration to give better expression to a thought, communique, presentation, or speech.

Summary: Much valuable material but not my favorite
Review: This work has a great amount of valuable material. But it is not my favorite quotation book, perhaps because I sense in it a political view different from my own. But I also feel it is not quite on the intellectual level of Baron's pioneering work. And this said by a reader who admittedly has tasted only samples here and there of the work and not read it all.
