Book excerpt: 'Searcher' Magazine editor Barbara Quint (bq) is not only one of the world's most famous online searchers, but the most creative and controversial writer, editor and speaker to emerge from the information industry in the last two decades. bq is a guru of librarians and database professionals the world over, and - as her readers, publishers and 'quarry' know - when it comes to barbed wit she is in a class by herself. Whether she chastises database providers about unacceptable fees, interfaces and updates, recouting the ills visited on the world by computer makers, or inspiring her readers to achieve greatness, her voice is consistently original and compelling. In this book, for the first time anywhere, Marylaine Block has gathered hundreds of Barbara Quint's most memorable, insightful, and politically-incorrect quotations for the enjoyment of her many fans.
