“This is great reference book for those who love Shakespeare and desire brief references for the most famous quotes. While T. S. Eliot and Cole Porter may not have needed it, the book is helpful for those of us who do not read Shakespeare everyday. With quotes from all or almost all of the plays it is helpful as both a reminder of past readings and performances and a suggestion for new exploration of this greatest playwright of the English language. The book is a delight to browse or use as a reverence work. It also helps you avoid the faux Shakespeare that is in the air, those phrases wrongly attributed to Shakespeare which had origins in earlier works.”
