I've never read that, so I can't endorse if it's any good. Looking at the reviews though I would say to avoid it. But it does serve as a decent starting ground for finding what you're looking for. I found it by searching google for "book of insults" which I know are fairly common. I'd recommend beginning there and branching off from just a book of insults to find what you're looking for specifically. Definitely look at reviews or examples from the books themselves though.
Searching for "book of witty retorts" pulled up this which sounds like it might be more up your alley:
