The John Cook is 1996. The Forbes Book of Business Quotations is more 
interesting. It is a collection of quotes that has appeared on the back 
pages of Forbes Magazine since 1917. So the date on the book (1997) isn't 
really as relevant as finding out when it appeared in the pages of the 
magazine. The foreword also states that the first hard cover collection of 
the quotes was over half a century ago. I think you might want to talk to 
the editorial department at Forbes to see if they can help you track 
anything down about this.
