LJ Talks to…Fred R. Shapiro
From the intro:

The recently published Yale Book of Quotations (LJ 10/15/06) is a compendium of 12,000 quotations drawn from a wide variety of fields, including literature, pop culture, social sciences, sciences, folklore, and others. Compiled by Fred R. Shapiro, associate librarian and researcher at the Yale Law School, the hefty volume has been getting quite a bit of attention in the media—and for good reasons. Its user-friendly format and unique focus on American (rather than global) quotations make it a natural fit for both reference and circulating collections.
