This was a very nice collection of quotes and very well-organized. I would have liked it slightly more if there were more quotes from fiction books, but there was a great deal of important nonfiction quotations.

A superb book for the casual reader and for those looking to gather quotes from specific people or on specific topics. This book is very easy to use and it contains a vast amount (5,000+) of quotes.

After having purchased this book I bought several others from Leonard Roy Frank and they are all equally as good. I can't imagine how much time and effort went into creating this book; however, I am grateful that this book was created. This book is a real treasure and if you like reading quotes you will enjoy this book immensely.

How I now love George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's great opponent. And who said "I read somewhere that drinking is bad for you. So, I gave up reading," or, "Assassination is an extreme form of censorship." Just a great book: probably one in twenty quotes is worth remembering, which is an astonishingly high ratio for this type of book.
