5.0 out of 5 stars First choice to anyone who enjoys Words!, 5 Oct 2000
As a professional quiz writer this book has become my first choice for reference.

If you like me have ever wondered where the meaning of certain words come from then this book is a must.

Clear and concise, you will not be disappointed.
