Sherrie (slfergus) | 83 comments Hi,
The book this quote was in didn't get attached when I added the quote - https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9866...

It should be attached to A Velocity of Being: Letters to A Young Reader

Thank you.

Scott | 8628 comments I added the book, but is the quote by Alexander Chee or Maria Popova?


message 3: by Sherrie (new)

Sherrie (slfergus) | 83 comments The quote is by Alexander Chee in Maria Popova's book and the way she did this book the person who actually wrote the words needs to be credited as well.
Thank you so much for the quick help.

Sherrie (slfergus) | 83 comments Another question if you'll humor me...two quotes from Maria Popova's book are credited to the writer who wrote them and the book but without Maria Popova.
― Rebecca Solnit, A Velocity of Being: Letters to A Young Reader

I couldn't see a way to do that though it seemed a really good way to do it since the book is a book of letters by people like Solnit.

The quotes should be credited to their original authors, not to Maria Popova.
