Princess Fuzzypants here: Peaky Blinders was riveting tv. Violent, crude and mesmerizing, it is the story of a family with Gypsy roots in post WWI Birmingham who hard scrabble up the crime ladder to wealth and power but regardless of the heights, never quite to respectability and acceptance.
The scripts were brilliant and this book takes some of the best lines and accompanies them with stills from the show. It is an excellent coffee table book for fans of the show.
Five purrs and two paws up.
I really liked this book, it was different than anything else I've read which was a breath of fresh air. I will be recommending this to my friends, and auto buy this author!
Great resource and gift for fans of the show!
While I have yet to watch the series in its entirety, I appreciate this resource guide full of memorable quotes, phrases, photos, and beautiful illustrations. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the gifted copy.
Peaky Blinders is a series that has gained fans all throughout the world. It's gained its popularity for being an epic gangster family show, set in post World War Birmingham. In that sense, I think it would be a great gift for fans of the show or a wonderful book to add to your coffee table reads. The photographs are amazing!
In all honesty I still haven't watched Peaky Blinders although I am very much aware of the popularity of the TV series thanks to a few friends who are big fans. With a selection of quotes and excellent quality pictures and stills, Peaky Blinders: Official Wit and Wisdom seems like a perfect, coffee table book for fans to enjoy.
My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Quarto Publishing Group - White Lion/White Lion Publishing for the e-Arc of the book.

My Review:
Peaky Blinders is one of the best shows that have been on television (I stand by this statement). A few years ago, I started watching it after it was recommended to me time and time again. These characters are some of the most corrupt (yet classy) characters I’ve ever come across…but they do it in a way that you root for them. You like them. You care about them through the good and all of the bad (so, so much bad).
This collection of photos gives us pictures from the show, and as someone who hasn’t watched it in a bit, I realized how much I missed these people, and now I just want to rewatch it all again and make everyone else watch it too. Aside from the photos are quotes – some notable and others are more cryptic and can be understood if you watch the show – but I’m assuming if you’re looking at this book, you’ve seen the show.
Loved what was collected here!
Yes I loved this so much and now need to rewatch Peaky Blinder again. I also want to get a copy of this for my coffee table so my guest that come over can read it also.
An excellent gift for fans of the show. Lots of beautiful photographs and memorable quotes from the characters.
A nice collection of quotes of the serie Peaky Blinders. I have watched the serie and I love the whole atmosphere in it. This book perfectly shows that atmosphere too because of the added pictures. I also like that for each quote there's a fitting image and often paired with the person who said the quote.

It's really good for fans who've just watched the show, and want to relive the funniest and most savage moments of the series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher, Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion, for this e-ARC. This review contains my honest opinion about the book.
This book had some of the most beautiful photography, mixed in with my favourite quotes from the show. I loved it.
This book gives readers a look back to some of the most iconic lines from the series. The quotes are paired with stunning images of the cast and sets. Reading this made me want to go and rewatch the show. A must read for any person who considers themselves a fan of the show.
I received Peaky Blinders: Official Wit & Wisdom by Peaky Blinders for review on NetGalley, read it and LOVED it immediately! I wish these had come out for every season. The photos are gorgeous. The quotes picked are perfect! I will definitely be purchasing this in hardcover on release day. This is a must have for all Peaky Blinders fans.

For many evenings, we sat rapt in the swirl, the brilliance, and terrible twists and turns of the Peaky Blinders series on television. With PEAKY BLINDERS: OFFICIAL WIT & WISDOM, key moments and memorable quotes are highlighted with beautiful photographs from the show, dropping me back into those incredible scenes with the quick wit, swift justice, and blinding clarity of a criminal family that somehow made itself known and appealing to viewers. I enjoyed the book, but it did not capture the full flavor and power of the program -- how could such bites do anything but leave me hungering for more? However, it was a welcome reminder to plunge back into the series and the convoluted and logical events. I received a copy of this book and these opinions are my own, unbiased thoughts.
Peaky Blinders is hands down one of the best shows out there and this book highlights the greatest quotes from the series! It has great pictures to compliments the quotes.
I tend to rewatch this show and this book helps me relive some of the great moments without a full rewatch.
Thank you White Lion Publishing for the ARC!
Great for big super fans of Peaky Blinders and not really anyone else. Just a bunch of quotes from the show
Rating ⭐️1/2
This just felt like an accumulation book of quotes that were powerful from the series and as much as it’s really fun and cool to read them. I think it kind of got a little boring come the end of it because it was just the same formatting the same layout, and it just felt like a money grab like a cliche so I was a little bit fed up of it by the end, but I think generally if people enjoy the quotes this will be really good
Do you like wits and wisdom?
Are you a fan of Thomas Shelby and all other characters from Peaky Blinders?
If you answer is yes to these two questions then this is a book for you perhaps it could be a coffee table book.
This book is filled with wits and wisdom and photos from the show.
Many thanks to the author publisher and Netgalley for a free ARC of this ebook.
This is a beautifully produced book. There are some stunning photos of the Peak Blinders cast. The quotes contain a lot of expletives so if you are upset by bad language this is not for you.
If you're a Peaky Blinders fan as I am, this book is a wonderful momento of the drama series.
Highly recommended.
A fun companion piece for lovers of this amazing show. The author has selected well, bringing to light some of the classic quotes.
I enjoyed the series and thought many of the dialogues were good. This book has a collection of dialogues along with images that go with them. It was nice to relive the scenes and story, but I wouldn't buy this book to do that. Not for me but if you're a hardcore fan of the series, you will like it.
