Use of OF
Hi,
I came across this sentence:
Of all the books you've written, which is your favorite?
Can you explain the use of "of" when used this way? What does it mean here?
What about
Out of all the books you've written, which is your favorite?

Anonymous Can you explain the use of "of" when used this way? It is just a fronted phrase: Which is your favorite of all the books you've written? Does that help?

Thank you Mister Micawber. Can you expand your explanation and give examples please?
Is it correct if I say *"I don't want to talk of (=about) that"* ?
