More about the book
Admit it! You're a word lover! You love to play with words - literally - in crossword puzzles, board games, and word books. You love the sound of words, the music they make. You love to roll them around your tongue and feel the shape of them in your mouth. You even love to make up your own words. But most of all, you love to visit the far horizons of the English language, the outer edges of its vast vocabulary. You're on a continuing mission to explore strange new words, to discover new nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, to boldly speak what only the most erudite wordsmiths have spoke before. Well, you're in luck. Inside The Word Lover's Dictionary is an entire galaxy of more than six thousand of the most unusual, obscure, and preposterous words you'll ever discover. And incredible as it may seem, every one of them has been accepted as a formal or legitimate English word by at least one major dictionary.
