bboyminn:

Thanks to everyone one for responding; I'm surprised that I got as
many responses as I did.

I don't recall seeing this form in other books though; perhaps I
wasn't paying attention or there weren't that many multi-paragraph
quotes. It seemed very off balance to me, but who am I to judge.

Of course, I couldn't be sure it wasn't just faulty typesetting, but
you all have cleared it up for me. Thanks again.
