""Recipient of an Umhoefer Prize for Achievement in Humanities, Arts and Humanities Foundation in 2011"" ""Selected for “The Best of the Best” Program at the 2012 ALA Annual Conference"" ""Henry David Thoreau is one of the most oft-quoted essayists in the American literary canon, and now his sage aphorisms are gathered together in a beautifully compiled and impressively comprehensive volume. . . . This volume will appeal to both casual, browsing readers and to researchers needing an authoritative source on the words of Thoreau."" * Choice * ""[The Quotable Thoreau] should fall on the shelves of every American.""---Mark Y. Herring, American Reference Books Annual ""The Quotable Thoreau is not meant to be read all at once. It should, rather, be savored bit by bit for maximum engagement, preferably in outdoor settings at various times of the year.""---Jeffrey Mifflin, Historical Journal of Massachusetts
