Use of verb "mention"

[Unregistered]

Can / Should the verb "mention" follow "about"

[marseeprint]

I am not a native speaker, but I would not use "about".

Examples:


He mentioned this book in his work.
She mentioned seeing your car there.

I hope this helps.

CALD supports your point of view:

---
No preposition is normally needed after the verb mention.
He didn't mention the price.
He didn't mention about the price.
