This review is from: Best Quotations for All Occasions (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

Pretty good quotes book,
This review is from: Best Quotations for All Occasions (Mass Market Paperback)
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 :)
1.0 out of 5 stars
worse quote book ever,

This review is from: Best Quotations for All Occasions (Mass Market Paperback)
only payed .01 plus tax so sent to Good Will. I love qoutes and have several books of them at home, but was so dissappointed in this one. They were short,stupid and of no wisdom. (maybe a couple) Wouldn't recommend this one to anyone. On the other hand I got it fast but not in the condition promised. I bought it used but, looking like new? No.
