Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Looking for the right line? Whether you are preparing a speech, researching an essay, or simply looking to expand your conversational skills, The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations can help. This prestigious reference work has long been an essential on the bookshelf; on CD-ROM it may not be so weighty, but it is packed with the same amount of material, easily searchable, and where you need it--on your computer. The program is easy to install. Quick installation requires 12 MB of free space. It installs the basic program, index and fonts, but leaves the text on the CD-ROM, which can make for slightly slower searching. Full installation requires 30 MB of free space, but puts the whole text on your computer. The interface is intuitive: search by author name, work or quotation. The 20,000+ quotations date from classical literature to the present. There are hundreds of entries for some subjects (e.g. "love") and just a few for other subjects (six for "football" and one for "computer". The software doesn't sit on top of other platforms (you can't integrate it with Word, for example), but cutting and pasting is easy enough. "Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language", wrote Samuel Johnson in his Dictionary of the English Language. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations on CD-ROM is a work he would approve. --Kathleen Keefe
