Or it certainly should do." -- Jonathon Green, lexicographer & author of Green’s Dictionary of SlangIf you’re logofascinated, you are literally spellbound by language.This surprising compendium of 1,000 facts about words, language and etymology is here to inspire your curiosity and delight in discovery. In Word Drops, you can delve into a smattering of unexpected connections and weird juxtapositions, stumble upon a new or remarkable word, or learn of many a bizarre etymological quirk or tall tale.Encompassing cultures and histories from around the world, each ‘drop’ leads in some way to the next; we might be transported into wild flights of fancy about Tudor England, for example, before being plunged into tales of the First World War and the Navajo language.For all of the logofascinated among us, this is an immensely pleasurable and unpredictable collection that is guaranteed to raise eyebrows (the literal meaning, incidentally, of supercilious).Visit Paul Anthony Jones's blog and Twitter feed for further linguistic delights!We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
