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. <br/><br/> 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". <br/><br/><i>Tags for this post: book(<a href="http://www.stillhq.com/book"><img src="http://www.stillhq.com/tagicon.cgi?post=/book/Graeme_Donald/Sticklers_Sideburns_and_Bikinis&tag=book&format=.png" border="0" alt="S"></a>) Graeme_Donald(<a href="http://www.stillhq.com/Graeme_Donald"><img src="http://www.stillhq.com/tagicon.cgi?post=/book/Graeme_Donald/Sticklers_Sideburns_and_Bikinis&tag=Graeme_Donald&format=.png" border="0" alt="S"></a>) </i></td></tr></table> <a href="http://www.stillhq.com/book/Graeme_Donald/Sticklers_Sideburns_and_Bikinis.commentform.html">Comment</a> http://www.stillhq.com/book/Graeme_Donald/Sticklers_Sideburns_and_Bikinis.html http://www.stillhq.com/book/Graeme_Donald/Sticklers_Sideburns_and_Bikinis.html
