`Great book.' --Taxi Magazine, 28 June 2011
'Pearls of wisdom in a London black cab usually emanate from the driver up front rather than those in the back. Not so Mark Solomon. Instead of giving advice, the London cabbie sought it.' --Daily Express, September 2011
'This hardback is filled with quotes and is never less than an interesting, yet easy read.' --Call Sign magazine, September 2011
'"A cracker" and "In philosophy we have had Aristotle, Plato and those guys. Now we have Mark Solomon."' --Robert Elms Show BBC London, 16 August 2011 --Reviews for Black Cab Wisdom

Product Description
‘An inch in the right direction is better than a mile in the wrong direction’ ‘If you think your life is bland, then you haven’t added enough fl avour’ ‘People who live in glass houses should never undress’ In September 2009, London cabbie Mark Solomon began asking passengers in the back of his taxi for a random quote or proverb. It started spontaneously, to give him more purpose and direction, but he found that sharing these daily inspirations with others made them feel part of something special too. The project developed into a popular website (www.blackcabquotes.com), and now this pocket-sized book off ers the best thoughts for the day, ranging from the truly philosophical to the downright bizarre.

It's actually a pleasure to read this book if you read it the right way. By this I mean you literally have to put yourself in the backseat with the people and try and picture each person who says the quotes. The author and driver obviously has a talent with people and getting people to talk is not always any mean feat in London, so to get some of the quotes he's got, well, hats off to him. It's a really good book though, it's on the book shelf in my bathroom as I do like a rad on the toilet or in the bath, this is easy to pickup where you (didn't really) leave off from.

Bought the book from the back of the authors cab.
Wonderful quotes and really well presented.
Great value for money and a must-have for any English ex-pat friends missing sunny London ;)

This little book was bought as a gift but I thought I would make sure that the quotes were, indeed, funny or at least entertaining. Well, you have to check these things, don't you?!
The book is sturdy and colourful, and the quotes are indeed funny and/or wise. The only issue I have with it is that there could be MORE quotes! Please?
