Review: Words, glorious words! - I bought this book for a fairly well-known speaker, who like me, loves learning and using fascinating & unusual words. He loved the book!! I will purchase it for myself soon, and look forward to skipping about the pages. It is not a book you read cover to cover.
Review: Great Book, But a Little Highfalutin :) - I enjoy all of Elster's writings, and I own a bunch of his books. I have read them all, and family and friends all are tortured with my explaining to them etymologies or pronunciations of common words and phrases. Of all his books, this one is by far the least practical unless you have a perfect memory. The words are long and difficult, and impossible to remember (for me at least). That being said, it's an enjoyable read, and the author's style is delightful and inimitable. I would recommend this book to any logophile (word lover), but don't think you're going to use these words in conversation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Words, glorious words!
*by I***Y on June 19, 2024*

I bought this book for a fairly well-known speaker, who like me, loves learning and using fascinating & unusual words. He loved the book!! I will purchase it for myself soon, and look forward to skipping about the pages. It is not a book you read cover to cover.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book, But a Little Highfalutin :)
*by E***I on August 25, 2013*

I enjoy all of Elster's writings, and I own a bunch of his books. I have read them all, and family and friends all are tortured with my explaining to them etymologies or pronunciations of common words and phrases. Of all his books, this one is by far the least practical unless you have a perfect memory. The words are long and difficult, and impossible to remember (for me at least).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just Plain Fun
*by R***L on October 25, 2009*

A person often takes a chance when ordering a book based primarily on a title. Even based on friends' recommendations, ordering a book you know little about is an iffy proposition. This book is like that. It sounds like a book for building your speaking and writing vocabulary. It is not. Neither is it exhaustive. It is just plain fun. If you enjoy unusual words and like to play with language, this will give you plenty of material.
