There's only so much that can be said about a dictionary, so this review will be very short. This book is literally a dictionary of unusual words compiled from literary sources. It contains some very interesting words - great alternatives that can be used in everyday conversation. However, Saussy may have been a bit of a pervert, because there are a disproportionate amount of words relating to sex which got a bit tedious after a while.
