We can't use Google Books as a source but I can trust the word of a GR member for something like this. :)

1. The quote contains a typo: "pray" instead of "prey" in this passage: "“The point of the pray [sic] being paralysed rather than killed, by the way, ...".
2. The quote is not attributed to a book. The source is Dawkins' book The Selfish Gene (confirmed by a search for the text on Google Books).
