The Language-Lover's Lexipedia

Part encyclopaedia, part miscellany, The Language-Lover's Lexipedia conducts a fascinating and magical Abracadabra to Zyzzyva tour of all things word-related.  Whether it's Scottish insults, Elizabethan colours or terrible technobabble, verbal rabbit holes you didn't know you needed to go down are explored with wit, erudition and gorgeous accompanying line drawings. This is a great book to dip into, meander about in, and emerge from bearing all manner of linguistic treasure. Would make an entertaining and informative gift for word nerds, language purists and dictionary addicts.
