Great reference book for quotes!

This book contains tons of quotations, and makes for a great reference book for those of us who use quotes regularly in our day-to-day life. I am not a huge fan of anonymous quotes, so those were annoying, but there were so many great quotes in this book that I still rated it five stars. This collector has done a fabulous job putting together a very good collection. Enjoy!

Pretty good quotes book

This book is full of many interesting quotes from many famous historical figures. The only thing I did not enjoy about this book is the quotes are mostly from the 1500s, 1600s, and 1700s. I was hoping to see some quotes from more modern sources and/or public figures. All and all though it's a great little book with a wealth of interesting quotes in it and for only $7.95 I can't complain :)

Excellent Choice For Students, and any one else

I purchased this book on this website, not only did it come exactly on the date it said it would but the book is excellent. Im a sophmore in high school, and wanted a book that would give me something compelling to write in essays, Im sure (I've yet to write one, having just received the book 3 hours ago) it will be helpful. Its arranged wonderfully and the cover is pink! P.S. I also bought Inspirational Quotes in hardcover also good! Bravo

Polished Diamonds

This book has a truly excellent selection of quotes. There are no dud quotes or ones that leave you guessing. Lewis Henry has done an admirable editing job.
