Endangered Words

‎03-02-2019 12:18 PM

I just came across a book that might be of interest to some of you ...

 

Endangered Words:  Simon Hertnon's guided tour of one hundred exceptional rare words.  

 

Interesting and fun book .... and Kindle version is only $3.99.

 

From the blurb at Amazon:

 

Hertnon describes his book as a gallery of fine words, and a stroll through it will introduce you to words that give you reason to pause and consider. Some words hit you between the eyeballs, others make you laugh or nod your head in wistful recognition. But every word reminds you of the value tied up in our language, if only we take the time to explore, discern, and share. Do take a look inside.
