The VLA FIRST Bright Quasar survey (FBQS) offers an unprecedented opportunity to define a sample of quasars which bridge the traditional gap between radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars. With a limiting radio flux density of 1 mJy at 1400 MHz, many of the quasars discovered by the FBQS fall near this divide. We have now obtained optical spectra for 90 17.8 and have identified 423 new quasars in addition to the 154 previously known quasars. In this paper we present the spectra of these quasars for the community's inspection and enjoyment. Some of the spectra are truly remarkable.
