Product Description
Good Book Guide, March 2005
a light-hearted trip through the fascinating byways of the English language
--This text refers to an alternate

edition.
Product Description
Words are the building blocks of language, but their derivations are often stories in themselves. Have you ever wondered why we "wear" perfume, "read" magazines, vote for "candidates" and speak in "jargon"? With entries from "assassin" to "villain", the authors explain the origins of 300 words.
