Sinopsis
This literary compendium of anecdotes, quotations, and author profiles will appeal to casual readers and scholars alike. The author draws from a vast pool of written works, both classic and obscure, to explore themes of love, friendship, wit, and more. The author's approach avoids any imposition of a strict narrative, instead allowing these literary fragments to playfully riff off of one another. Readers will find witty musings and tales from an array of writers, including Charles Lamb, Dean Ramsay, William Hazlitt, and Dorothy Parker. This book's thoughtful and unique format makes it ideal for dipping into at any moment or savoring over an extended period. Its insights on human nature make this book a perfect gift or a welcome addition to any home library.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Patchwork
Such volumes are generally a miscellaneous gathering of fragments, which the editor fancies, in a vague sort of way, will be amusing or edifying to the general public. Now as my detached pieces were brought together with no idea of pleasing anybody but myself, I hope they will have a more individual flavour, and so, in some measure, escape this very serious charge.

Excerpt from Patchwork
I do not know whether a reference to Dr. Johnson's Dictionary would show that a Commonplace-book is a book kept by a commonplace sort of person, but I should not be surprised if the Doctor had thought so, and, certainly, there is a very general opinion that collections of such scraps are mighty poor reading: in sustained and coherent interest not a whit better than the Doctor's own lexicon.

Now as my detached pieces were brought together with no idea of pleasing anybody but myself, I hope they will have a more individual flavour, and so, in some measure, escape this very serious charge.
I fear that I may annoy some readers, for, though I have taken pains, no doubt I have sorely maltreated many of the extracts, picked up, as they were, from all sorts of people, in all kinds of places, from the corners of newspapers, and such like.
