“Not everything that shines is gold.”

Augustina, 21, Argentina

In September 2009, I spontaneously started asking my taxi passengers to kindly contribute with a random quote or proverb. A fantastic passenger response has lead to the existence of this website and the publication of “BLACK CAB WISDOM”.

A massive THANK YOU to all of the contributing passengers, website followers and project supporters.

“BLACK CAB WISDOM” is released today, 4 July, (Hard back) in all good book shops and online stores.
