Summary: Pretty nice. Can be quite useful..
Review: I found this book quite interesting though the only thing I'd say it's lacking is an index, so that if I wanted to find a quote in a certain subject, I wouldn't have to go over all of the book to find it.. But it's no dictionary so you don't expect it to have an index.
I recommend it for those who like to read smart and thoughtful stuff that important people had said once.

Summary: Greatly Watered-down Quotations
Review: This book doesn't cost very much, but it doesn't provide a lot either. With only about 400 quotes in very large type, this feels like a supermarket checkout filler item. The reason I give this one 3 stars is due to the fact that most of the quotes are pretty good. So, it's the best of the 'Great Quote Series' but that's not saying much. Save your money and invest in the Random House Websters Quotationary instead.

Summary: Standard quotes...
Review: This is an "impulse buy" type of book, or a gift for a niece or nephew you do not know too well. The 400 quotes were OK, as others have noted. Too bad Anderson included Douglas MacArthur, but good for her for including Mother Teresa, who gave me a favorite: "I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world."The quotes were not dated, however, so you have no idea when in their lives these people gave them.

Summary: Not enough background
Review: This is just a list of good quotes. The author should have offered a little background behind each quote, such as when, where, circumstances, speaking to whom, after effect. The book is so small I lost it, but I am not too upset.
