5.0 out of 5 stars
A follow-up to "Amo, Amas, Amat...", 11 Dec 2000
By Richard A. Weaver - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Veni, Vidi, Vici (Paperback)
This is a companion volume / continuation of his popular "Amo, Amas, Amat" book. As in the first book, the author includes hundreds of Latin mottoes, sayings, bon mots, and proverbs. They are ordered alphabetically, each followed by its pronunciation (in an informal but generally useful transcription), and general sense. Most of the entries have an explanatory sentence or two, giving the background, source, and literal translation. A fun book; helpful to the student of Latin, and entertaining and educational to the general reader. Well worth the money!

Latin Sayings; Great for Impressions, 5 Jan 2001
By "dead_philosopher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Veni, Vidi, Vici (Paperback)
When I got this book, it was when I needed to say something in Latin to impress a few friends and teachers. This is a very good book, tells you almost every Latin saying you'll ever need as well as being ordered very nicely. The index is also very good and I think this book gives good detail without going too far. Great book and also a nice way to annoy some people when you don't like them.

Before Buying "VENI, VIDI, VICI," Buy "AMO AMAS AMAT & MORE.", 30 Nov 2005
By Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Veni, Vidi, Vici (Paperback)
This is simply follow-up of "AMO AMAS AMAT & MORE." If you are not familar with Latin phrases, you would be disappointed with this book, since there are many phrases which are not covered in this book, and are covered in "AMO AMAS AMAT & MORE."
I like the Hardcover edition of "AMO AMAS AMAT & MORE" instead of paperback, as the paperback covers are simply easy to be damaged. You can find the hadcover edition of "AMO AMAS AMAT & MORE" @ Amazon Market Place ..... less than $1!!! for Good Used copies w/ Dustjacket. I paid only 69 cents + shipping for a very good used copy (hardcover w/dustjacket), while I paid $3.94 + shipping for a used paperback copy of "VENI, VIDI, VICI."
