{"product_id":"magnus-magnusson-keeping-my-words-2005","title":"Magnus Magnusson: Keeping My Words [2005]","description":"Montaigne said coyly: 'I quote others only the better to express myself.' But George Bernard Shaw was more brazen: 'I often quote myself - it adds spice to my conversation.' Indeed, Nigel Rees, the urbane host of the radio programme 'Quote...Unquote', has written: 'When in doubt, ascribe all quotations to George Bernard Shaw.' Or Oscar Wilde. We all love witty and clever quotations. They are often very funny, and usually sum up a profound truth in a subversive, irreverent manner. Magnus Magnusson's love of quotations has encouraged him to keep a Commonplace Book and this is a sampling of his collection kept over many years and spanning many subjects. On the basis that 'a big book is a big nuisance' (Callimachis, head librarian at Alexandria 305-240 BC), this little book is always entertaining. Containing the best loved classics and many newly discovered gems, this is a delicious anthology to explore and keep to hand.","brand":"Magnusson, Magnus","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":52924879700307,"sku":"XG80340862643","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"New","offer_id":52924879733075,"sku":"9780340862643","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/9780340862643.jpg?v=1770244272","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/magnus-magnusson-keeping-my-words-2005","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
