Wonderfully DIFFERENT quotes!
7 April 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase
I have more than 100 quote books, so it is difficult to find quotes in new books that I haven't already seen too many times before. Setzer's book is the exception--a great many of her quotes are delightfully uncommon and beautiful. My only complaint is that she provides author names only, no other source information. The book would be more helpful as a reference if Setzer had also included book titles and publication dates.
Setzer's book is organized into alphabetical topics, and alphabetically by author within each topic. The end matter includes an appendix with biographical information on the authors, as well as an author index.
