Synopsis:
The word 'philavery' was specially invented to describe this book - a collection of words chosen simply on the grounds of their aesthetic appeal. Some of these words appeal because of their aptness, some for their obscurity, some for their euphony, and some for their quirkiness. As a collection they will be a delight to all word lovers.
About the Author: Christopher Foyle is chairman of the world-famous Foyles bookshop in London's Charing Cross Road.
