This is really my husband's book, since he's the one who occasionally writes things that rhyme. An interesting difference between this book and the website he often uses is that this really is a dictionary, with brief definitions of the words. We'll keep it, but it's going upstairs to his office as part of the living room Shelf-Clearing Project.

Seriously needs to be corrected.

This book was scanned from a physical copy and hasn't been cleaned up. There are too many problems with the text for it to be useful. Whoever is responsible for this really needs to thoroughly edit and correct it to be charging anything for a book that is in the public domain.
