San Diego, California: ICON Group International, Inc., 2008. Appears unread. Fine condition with just a tiny bit of mild shelfwear to the cover (like you sometimes find in any new book store). Bright and shiny. NO chips or tears. Flat uncreased spine. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked -- apparently never read. Bound in the original pictorial wraps. 7" wide by 9" tall. From the publisher: "Ever need a fact or quotation relating to hang and rattle? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this book represents the largest compilation of anything relating to 'hang and rattle,' with a linguistic emphasis on non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This 'data dump' results in many unexpected examples for hang and rattle, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under 'fair use' conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. Proceeds from this book are used to expand the content and coverage of Webster's Online Dictionary." Keywords: Dictionaries. First Edition in book form. Softcover. Fine condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. x, 533pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Store Description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
