Synopsis
This dictionary, from which the TV programme "Call my Bluff" and the boardgame "Balderdash" are derivatives, has long been popular. Players make up false, but realistic, definitions of a range of words to trick fellow competitors into mistaking the definitions for truthful statements. This is a selection of 4000 of the most obscure words for the game dictionary. The rules of the dictionary game are set out in a preface.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Penguin Edition. Paperback. Message to previous owner to inside cover. Tiny crease to corner back cover. The source-book for the Dictionary Game, Balderdash, Call My Bluff and their many variants. This uniquely rich and entertaining treasury of esoteric and intriguing words will prove invaluable to all fans of word games. No need to waste time searching in a full-length dictionary: just select a word, write down the definition, get other players to make up definitions - and guess which is right! Here, skimmed from the complete Chambers English Dictionary, are 4,000 deliciously obscure words - words for Abyssinian antelope, baboon's cheek puches, coagulated blood and Spanish arresting officers - to draw on. Few books are such fun to dip into; CHOOMS, bellievers in EPEOLATRY and lovers of the English language, AWHAPED and amazed, will be unable to put it down. 340 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
