"If I had any sense, I'd have thought of Ifferisms
and gotten it into print before Dr. Grothe."
Robert Byrne, compiler of 2,548 Best Things Anybody Ever Said

"A flat-out wonderful and vastly entertaining book!
You'll be surprised and delighted to discover how much of
the world's wit and wisdom has been encapsulated
in single sentences beginning with the word 'if.'
If you don't read Ifferisms, you're missing out on something very special."
Leonard Roy Frank, editor of Random House Webster's Quotationary

"If you are eager to imbibe the most life-altering collection
of conditional wisdom ever collected and presented,
then, by all means, read Ifferisms."
Richard Lederer, author of Anguished English

"A fantastic collection of possibilities and prospects—
You'll never look at the word 'if' the same way again!"
Erin McKean, editor of The New Oxford American Dictionary and Verbatim magazine

"I always suspected that much wisdom is conditional,
but I never suspected how much until I read Ifferisms.
Dr. Mardy Grothe has come up with another irresistible anthology."
Barbara Wallraff, syndicated columnist and author of Word Court
