"The Quotable Poker Player is a thorough compilation of over 1500 poker quotes from pro players, celebrities, films, historical figures, etc. With over 1500 references, there's a lot of exhaustively researched material packed between the pages. Overall, this is a great flip-through book that makes for an interesting browse. What I was particularly impressed with was the eclectic nature of the quotations. The special treat was the movie quotes and lines that related to poker, as well as music lyrics, etc. There are some really, really funny quotes in here And given the recent publication date, it's pretty up-to-date with 2009 and 2010 references."
