5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book of Its Kind I Know 10 Jan 2002
By Donald Rogers - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This short, inexpensive book contains the best collection of anagrams and palindromes I have ever seen. My copy is dog-eared from repeated use. The book contains an enormous amount of top-notch palindromes that are far from over-familiar. Some samples:

* A new order began; a more Roman age bred Rowena.
* A dog, a pant, a panic in a Patna pagoda.

Those samples may strike you as silly and meaninglesss, in which you are not a palindrome person, and this book is not for you. Or they may make you want to see more, in which case you should definitely buy this book. The palindromes by J.A. Lindon, which make up the book's grand finale chapter, are amazing tours de force.

Trust me -- this book has the goods. If you are a wordplay enthusiast, you'll love it. If you know one (perhaps a co-worker), it could make a great inexpensive gift. Strongly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for wordplay enthusiasts. 5 April 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Howard W. Bergerson, former editor of Word Ways: The Journal of Recreational Linguistics, presents more than a thousand anagrams and hundreds of palindromes (with sources, where known).

This volume (an inspiration for many books including Michaelsen's "Words at Play" and Jon Agee's collections) is a must for wordplay enthusiasts, especially those with a penchant for these particular curiosities.

You will get your money's worth on this one.
