Seller's Description:
Good in good dust jacket. Outline: -An entertaining and yet thought-provoking book that sifts through hundreds of misquotations incorrect attributions and blatant fabrications to reveal the origins of the quotes and why they should be confined to the `They Never Said It` file. Boller and George`s ultimate `debunking` reference work sets straight several historical records proving amongst other things that `Let them eat cake` was a well-worn phrase long before Marie Antoinette was born that although W. C. Fields fervently believed `Anybody who hates children and dogs can`t be all bad` credit for the quote must go to someone introducing Fields at a dinner party. They Never Said It is the perfect complement to dictionaries of quotations. -> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Oxford University Press The date of this copy is 1990 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
