this is a really cute book... 12 Jun 2011
By P. J. Mullins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a really cute little book, but a word of warning to those of you who prefer to learn about the idiomatic sayings of American English: this book is more for those who are interested in British English. There are a few sayings which cross over into both British and American English, but it is predominantly British. Still, it's a cute read for a short flight.

Flying by the Seat of your Pants 22 Oct 2011
By Reading in Nebraska - Published on Amazon.com

The book seemed to be more tuned to British sayings. It was never advertised as such but some of the saying's origins were of no interest to me.

For Lovers of Language 18 Mar 2011
By Ruthie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Many phrases are reviewed*. (*historical roots of the phrases) Each description is from 2 to 6 paragraphs - i.e. a quick reference. Wonderful information.
