What to experts say:
- "Add this one to your quotations shelf. There are several hundred excellent ideas in this small but attractive volume. " Loertscher, David V. "The Librarian's Book of Quotes." Teacher Librarian 37.3 (2010): 72. Academic OneFile. Web. 30 June 2013.
- "The text includes citations for the original source material,
and a handy biographical dictionary provides background on
quoted individuals. Unfortunately, the biographical index does not
include page citations, so you need to browse through the book to
find quotes by specific authors. The quotations are in no particular
order. In addition, the quotations are primarily from American figures. A more extensive, global collection is still needed." Griebel, Rosemary. "The Librarian's Book of Quotes." Feliciter 56.3 (2010): 124.
