4.0 out of 5 stars A Word A Day Keeps the Dictionary Away, 27 April 2003

By A Customer

I have always had a fascination with where words come from and how they are formed, and this book provided me with a veritable feast of new words.

Anu Garg writes with a lovely sense of humour as well, and brings out some wonderful quotes to give examples of how the words are generally used.

If you like words, would like to add some new ones to your vocabulary and find out the background to a few of the ones that you are already familiar with, this book is a real treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting, 6 Aug 2004

By	Mrs. Sheilagh Stones (Nottingham, Nottinghamshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As fascinated as I am with all word books, I wish someone had bothered to point out it is written and published in America - ergo many words in the normal text are spelt (to we English) incorrectly! I would have preferred to buy a similar book written by an English person.
