About this title

Synopsis

Written by the founder of the wildly popular A Word A Day Web site (www.wordsmith.org), this collection of unusual, obscure, and exotic English words will delight writers, scholars, crossword puzzlers, and word buffs of every ilk. The words are grouped in intriguing categories that range from "Portmanteaux" to "Words That Make the Spell-Checker Ineffective." each entry includes a concise definition, etymology, and usage example-and many feature fascinating and hilarious commentaries by A Word A Day subscribers and the authors.

Store Description

I have been a book lover for many years and enjoyed collecting books as a hobby. But downsizing has meant a re-think of my library and I've decided to sell my books. It breaks my heart to part with some of these, but I don't expect my children or grandchildren to feel the same way about these books as I do. I am also an author, and write as Pippa Kay. I have published three books, and was excited to win the Society of Women Writers NSW Fiction Award a collection of short stories called, Keeping it in the Family in 2018.
