50bookchallenge Book #16
Apr. 19th, 2004 10:49 amYour Own Words by Barbara Wallraff
Wallraff, the Atlantic Monthly columnist who writes the "Word Court" column, looks at word reference books - dictionaries, usage guides, and other, specialized reference books - and answers readers' questions about the proper uses of these books. For a dictionary- and word-reference-book-collector - as I am - this book is a treasure trove of book recommendations. And it's well written and humorous, as well.
