Books by Willis Goth Regier

Where would we be without flattery? Giving flattery light, attention, and care, this title treats readers to hundreds of historical examples drawn from the highest social circles in politics, romance, and religion, from the courts of Byzantium and China to Paris, Rome, and Washington, DC.

Book of the Sphinx

Draws on world literature and contemporary events to show how vital quotations are, how they are collected and organised, and how deceptive they can be. Willis Goth Regier probes all these aspects, identifying fifty-nine types of quotations, including misquotations and anonymous sayings. Following the logic of quotology, Quotology concludes with famous last words.
