Description:
London: Bloomsbury, 2009. 1st ed.. Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), boards little rubbed, pages lightly toned, protected by removable semiarchival plastic sleeve (Brodart). 312 pp. This book is a collection of pieces by Ben Macintyre that will tease and tantalise all who enjoy all things lexical. Learn the advantage of having your own signature word. Look at the classic texts and the difference if they had been given happier endings. Can you distinguish Spanglish from Chinglish? This book is funny, profound and celebrates the richness and resilience of the English language.
