Realcabrides.com is the title of a 218-page, non-fiction book is by Providence cabdriver Edward Dalton. It's about the adventures the cabdriver/philosopher has had driving a cab for the past 11 years.


Dalton, writes a monthly column for Providence Monthly Magazine that focuses on philosophical and political issues of being a cab driver. One of his crusades is to change the Rhode Island law to require plexiglass partitions in cabs. Apparently a cabdriver is 4 times more likely to be murdered on the job than a police officer!

Said Rhode Island School of Design literature professor Mike Fink in Providence's East Side Monthly:


"... Dalton has created a little local treasure that can stand beside anything else you might be tempted by ... It's just a great read!"
