This is indispensable for writing.

I like this book and look for odd sayings to spring on people at work. The index is just large enough to find things that you were not looking for. Nothing punches up a memo better than a relevant quote. This critter is indexed and cross-referenced. I am not about to quote a quote. Read them for yourself. However, if you are of limited funds, you need to look at Bartlett's Roget's Thesaurus first. There are not as many good quotes, but the combination of Bartlett’s and Roget's is better by far than either one alone. Next on the list should be “Bartlett's Roget's Thesaurus.”
