Around the world in quotations

Another treasure chest of specialized quotations from Routledge & Kegan Paul. This giant reference book is packed with perceptive quotes, both long and pithy, on thousands of locations around the world. The longest sections are on Britain and the U. S. The only glaring omission, IMO, is the absence of any mention of Krakatoa. The collection, published in 1983, has begun to date somewhat, as under-represented countries like Korea have become more prominent and hence more quote-worthy in recent decades. But that shortcoming is more than compensated for with the wealth of great historical quotes. Wonderful, just wonderful...
