Reviews

5.0 out of 5 based on 1 reviews. 5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 13/10/2008

This is a great book for those who are fascinated by the what, and, importantly, the how and why of words.

Short articles on words we all know, and some most of us didn't know, are amusing and thought-provoking. Good for dipping into while waiting anywhere, and mall enough to carry around. HIGHLY recommended.
