It may be sold out on amazon.com, but I ordered it yesterday (finally) and when we checked, it was in stock at the Ingram distribution warehouses (one of the major wholesalers). So y'all, order away (preferably from you local independent bookstore).

wellcome on board, Tomghaji

you are exactly what this board needs - a native speaker of Chinese (questions about Chinese pop up sometimes) and even better - you know ancient Chinese literature. Do stay with us!

Rank #1? YAYYYYYY!
It IS good! He has lots of quotes from people--nobody from here, though, unless it was someone who has stayed well in disguise. Probably they're folks who wrote in to W.A.D.
He starts off with a brief, cute conversation with that sweet baby (yes, a 5-year-old is still a baby! My almost-18 and -17-year olds are still my babies). And...he just...the joy of words just shines through; it is a happy book. Very uplifting!

A WORD A DAY a romp through some of the most unusual and intriguing words in english
__________________________ - Anu Garg with Stuti Garg


What an unhappy surprise! Anu and Stuti didn't give the recreant bookreviewer in me much to work with. The book is wonderfully done. Entertaining. Clearly and cleanly written. Excellent in appearance, lay-out, and presentation. A turn to any page will bring fresh information that will tickle the minds of even the most jaded reader such as me. Damn.

I bet you won't find this book left on a park bench in kindness for others to read. Anu's book is a keeper. Poor park bums will have to go get their own book. This book is a delight.
