"Forty-five writers, with backgrounds and imaginations as different as journalists Bill McKibbenn's and novelist Barbara Kingsolver's, have crafted more than 850 definitions for words like vega and trace. And flatiron, bayou, milk gap, and looking-glass prairie. What emerges from their work, however, is more than accurate definitions and their individual approaches to each of these words." ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 449 pp; Signed by Editors .
