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.

This is great to keep along with any other desk reference books in your library... great when you're looking for just the right quote at the right time.
