 ISBN: 9781846033001 LibraryThing | This is the second book I have got from the LibraryThing early reviewer program (the previous book was The Spy Within).
I'm going to have to be honest with this book and say that I haven't read all of it yet. Its basically a dictionary and I don't tend to read those cover to cover. On the other hand, I have read about 10% of this book so far, and do intend to read it all. This book is great. The content is interesting, well laid out, and excellently written. That's probably made a lot easier by how interesting the content is -- the stories behind various works tend to be short and novel, which is fun. The book is also useful -- it's already ended an office debate over the origin of the word "hooker". Tags for this post: book(  ) Graeme_Donald( ) |
