Reviews

'It is a truly scholarly achievement deserving a place in all academic and reference libraries ...' - Reference Reviews Praise for the first edition: `The first attraction to this book is the author biography...Wilkinson is an enthusiast; and they usually make the best compilers of reference books. This is no exception: the book is clearly a labour of love ... A quite marvellous mass of material is assembled here, which will both delight and fascinate any lover of words or of the use of the English language. I recommend it unreservedly.' - Reference Reviews 'It is a truly scholarly achievement deserving a place in all academic and reference libraries ...' - Reference Reviews
