******* Reviews *******
"The Yale Book of Quotations…brings modern voices into the company of standbys like Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson and Mark Twain, who squeeze together and make room for B.B. King, Fran Lebowitz, and Stanislaw Jerzy Lec." -William Grimes, New York Times (The Gifts to Open Again and Again)
"Not only is the The Yale Book of Quotations a more profoundly researched work than anything else to date, it is more comprehensive than any other quotation-reference work—the first, in fact, to emphasize modern and American sources and fully to represent popular culture, children's literature, sports, computers, politics, law, and the social sciences." -BookForum

Ratings and Reviews
Okay
Disappointed because I had to give it a 3 star. It is really a 2 1/2. I expected more from Yale. As far as searching, it is okay although it feels clunky which I know is hard to explain. It is not attractive but that is in the eye of the beholder.
After using Yale, my favorite quotation app remains 23,000 Quotations. I love the random browse feature in that app. It is a great way to generate ideas.
When all is said and done, Yale is fine for searching for proverbs or quotations but certainly not worth $10. This is a $4-5 app even if it carries the Yale brand.
Very disappointing
Many of the quotations in this guide are simply titles of books, speeches or excerpts from song lyrics. I am not very impressed with it. Way overpriced!
Skimpy
They have a long way to go, there’s not much here.
