Some Remembered Words

Some Remembered Words, by bibliophile and retired publishing rep Oscar Shoenfeld, is what a commonplace book should be: eccentric and erudite. And Shoenfeld's marginalia stand up to his quotations--no mean feat in company that includes, along with the famously quotable (e.g., Sophocles, Chesterfield, Henry Adams), lesser-known modern luminaries such as Thomas Beer, Max Schachtman and Arnold Genthe.
