Review
Praise for the two-volume New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English:
'The king is dead. Long live the king! ... The old Partridge is not really dead; it remains the best record of British slang antedating 1945 ... Now, however, the preferred source for information about English slang of the past sixty years is the New Partridge.' – James Rettig, Booklist, American Library Association
'Most slang dictionaries are no better than momgrams or a rub of the brush, put together by shmegegges looking to make some moola. The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, on the other hand, is the wee babes.' – Ian Sansom, The Guardian
'A great book.' – Susie Dent
