"This book will lend hours of pleasure-as well as help you preserve the highest layers of the English vocabulary." -- John McWhorter, author of The Language Hoax "A million dollars' worth of fifty-cent words." -- Erin McKean, editor, Verbatim "Delves into the mostly untapped reservoir of the English lexicon, offering readers more than top-of-mind word choices."
