I'm glad I have the chance to voice my opinion. David Barber does an excellent job finding and presenting mostly musical quotations. In some cases, he lists quotes that have nothing to do with music except that a musician said it, and I found that annoying. Yes, he does use some sarcasm, but he also uses puns and plays on words and some of them had me in fits of laughter. If you like David Barber, you will like this book. If you don't like his sense of humor, you won't.
