Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book is "as good as gold" for word buffs..."I kid you not!" In day-to-day speech we use words and phrases without a passing thought as to why we use them or where they come from. Max Cryer changes all that by showing how fascinating the English language really is.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 317-319).
