Six years later, with the discovery of a file of letters and nineteen volumes of Una's diaries, Lovat Dickson was moved to begin writing the biography with which his legacy had implicitly charged him: an intimate record of these two women's lives together.'

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Clean and tight w/ slight lean to spine and minor edgewear to boards.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Paul Dickson [illustrations] and Jerry Clark [Auth (illustrator). Second printing [stated]. xi, [5], 366, [2] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. Signed by the author on the title page. The dust jacket has some wear, small tears and soiling. Paul Dickson (born July 30, 1939) is a freelance writer of more than 65 non-fiction books, mostly on American English language, history, and popular culture. He is a founding member and former president of Washington Independent Writers and a member of the National Press Club. Dickson coined the term "word word". After a brief stint on Wall Street and a public relations position in McGraw-Hill, Dickson worked as a reporter for McGraw-Hill's Electronics magazine and as a contributing editor at EYE, a short-lived rock ân' roll magazine from the Hearst Corporation. For his published work on baseball, The Washington Post has described Dickson as "baseball's answer to Noah Webster or, at the very least, William Safire." In May 1979, he appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson to promote his book The Official Rules, which detailed the history of Murphy's Law and similar aphorisms. Carson and Dickson spent time sharing similar sayings that they enjoyed. His writing in the 1970s included books on recreation and popular culture (The Great American Ice Cream Book, 1973; The Mature Person's Guide to Kites, Frisbees, Yo-Yos, and Other Childlike Diversions, 1977), the world of work (The Future of the Workplace, 1975; Work Revolution, 1977), and other topics. Dickson also covered various aspects of the English language. From a review by Patrick Dunhill posted on-line: Merriam Webster's may be the authority on the words we should use. This book offers the first and last word on those that we do use (and want to use). In a variety of chapters grouped by theme ("Curses," "British Words," "Acronyms" and so on), the author presents us with a special and funny collection of terms that are exotic, funny, quirky and ribald. Who knew that "Trigamy" involved having one more spouse than a bigamist? Who knew that there existed a person who cleans feathers for reuse in pillows? Or that his job title is "Feather Renovator"? Or that there were at least 2,231 words and phrases available to describe drunkenness? I am 20 years into a career of journalism and law and have had this book on my desk the entire time. It has proven invaluable many, many times -- on some occasions only for a pleasant diversion. On others to find just the right phrase for an argument or an article. It is a true treasure.
