Review
...this volume is essential. Its worth is enhanced by a listing of nicknames and appellations that are otherwise likely to be incomprehensible to foreigners...an essential addition to public, academic, and corporate reference libraries.
-The San Diego Union
This book has it all...besides being informative, the book is interesting and fun.
-Veterinary and Human Toxicology
This is a useful book and should appeal to the individual or library acquisitions director with a limited budget.
-Verbatim
An up-to-date source for locating some of the most elusive segments of our language.
-Booknotes
[This] compilation of abbreviations, acronyms, eponyms, terms, etc., is an excellent source for information that is not found in other works.
-Booklist, a publication of the American Library Association
The classic status of this title endures: abbreviations are again joined by a dazzling array of acronyms, contractions, initials, nicknames, short forms, signs and symbols. Its 15,000 new terms swell the dictionary to nearly 300,000 entries...excellent and unique...
--S. Swanson, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, CHOICE, October 2001, Vol. 39 No. 2
