Anyways that is what blockquote was meant to refer to. I your situation I would use
<div id='sidebar'>
<blockquote>
<p>I am seldom attracted to books of this genre.<p>
<p>This author was recommended by a friend, and I couldn't put it down!</p>
</blockquote>

</div>
The only issue with the blockquote is that it can't contain plain text, it has to be in a <p> or something, but if you don't like the extra margin the <p> gives, you can just do
blockquote p{margin:0}
in the css

So, semantically speaking, should I be using Blockquote or Q tags?
Blockquote, I beleive - you're correct in that q is meant for inline eg <p>some text <q>what he said</q> more text.</p>
I normally start my css file with * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } anyway which would already have stripped the blockquote indenting :)
