Great Book of Quotations

I love this little book of quotes. There is something for everybody, and something about everything.

Warts and All, a Survey of the True South

In the South we've screwed things up as much as we've gotten'em right and this book covers it all. Quotes on BBQ, kudzu, agriculture, civil rights, literature, topography, bein' nekkid, grits, grammar school, yankees and football make for one of the most accurate pictures of the South I've seen. If this book doesn't make you laugh, tick you off, make you cry, feel nostalgic, proud or ashamed then as the locals say 'you ain't from 'round here.' I use this book all the time, if you like quotes there's always something here for you.

Want to know what the real south is like?

This book of quotes gives the most toal picture of the true South that I have seen. Southerners will appreciate it. Others will just enjoy it.
