REFERENCE DEPARTMENT At last, a quotation book that picks up those sayings that echo in our memories but that no specialized dictionary seems to contain, Nice Guys Finish Seventh: False Phrases, Spurious Sayings, and Familiar Misquotations by Ralph Keyes identifies who said what and dispels catchphrases mythically assigned to people or sources we all assumed to be the originator. The text is descriptive, giving historical background and reasons for a quotation's peculiar turn of phrase, or misattribution. This book contains both a key word and a name index; it has a bibliography and is well endowed with research notes. Most welcoming is that this title contains phrases of the twentieth century and many that_have been very recently coined. Good weather, we hope, is just around the corner.
