Product Description

Review

An idiosyncratic adventure, pulling you in and saying: "this is, in fact, not what you werelooking for; but it's much more interesting." -- Terry Pratchett Of all the dictionaries in the world [Brewer's] is the most like a treasure-hunt, where one phrase leads to another, and that to a third, and before you know what's happened, it's time for lunch. -- Philip Pullman Brewer's head-words are so enticing and his definitions so eloquent that it's impossible to stop at one. An addiction may develop. -- Carol Rumens, The Independent 20080912

Product Description

With its delightful mix of

scholarship and eccentricity,

it is a must for every

twenty-first-century bookshelf.

This flagship title in the

Brewer’s series was first published

in 1870 to supply readers

with material that was both

entertaining and enlightening.

This new edition is filled with

hundreds of new facts, from

designer babies to New York’s

sewer-dwelling alligators, and

brings back more than 200

classic entries, such as magic

garters and poison detectors.
