Item description from seller

The Pedant's Return: Why Things That You Think Are Wrong Are Right by Andrea Barham, published in hardback by Michael O'Mara Books in 2006. The cover features a comic illustration of a pedantic figure reading a letter, with a matching figure on the rear panel alongside review quotes from the Daily Telegraph, Richard & Judy and The Times. The spine carries the title and author in red lettering against a pale blue background. Printing number line reads 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2. The book is presented in its original light blue dust jacket, with the illustration and text clearly visible and bright. There is a faint vertical crease and a small mark near the top of the front panel, and a light stain visible on the spine edge near the head of the book. The text block appears sound, with cream-coloured pages and clear, dark print, as shown in the sample page from the middle of the book.
