Johnny Roulette said Irish wit runs Wild(e)!. Yes, this is a tiny book, but it is worth owning. Wilde has issued forth enough wonderful quotes to fill a much larger tome, but, that said, this is a nice novelty item. The diminutive book is packed with great photos of Wilde, the quotes that made him famous, as well as many quirky illustrations of the author.Enjoy these quips from the man who uttered "either this wallpaper goes or I do" as his final words. I highly en. Wilde certainly fulfilled his end of the deal. Mr. Oscar Wilde certainly fulfilled his end of the deal in uttering the wonderful words of wit contained in this small book.Upon finding this book on display in a major bookstore, time flew by while I read through the whole miniature thing.While walking up to the cashier to purchase it, however, I stopped dead in my tracks.
