Book Reviews of Bartlett's Book of Anecdotes
Book Review: One of my favorite books
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit, I have had this book either by my bed or (forgive me!) in the bathroom for at least 20 years and am on my third - the other two worn out from too frequent reading. Lots of wonderful tidbits on just about anyone you can think of in history/literature/the arts/music. Highly recommended.
