    Reid and the 'Don't Quote Me' gang have squeezed a surprisingly diverse and entertaining emsemble of telling statements by some of the most influential people of our times into this compact book. Its size and format makes it easy to carry around and take up for a quick smile that is easily shared even in fairly brief moments during the day. Despite its size there is more material here, much of it contemporary, than one would expect or think would exist. Great fun!
