About this Item

Original publisher's gray paper covered boards, title spine, pictorial dustjacket, 8vo: 198pp. Very fine copy. This book defines many hundreds of words, mainly in pairs, that may give rise to confusion for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the words look or sound alike: perhaps they are interchangeable in some contexts but not in others: perhaps they are very closely related, or just commonly misunderstood or misused because of crelessness or ignorance. Whatever the cause of confusion, this book will help you to use the correct word in every situation. Seller Inventory # 145883
