Review: Can’t give this enough stars - Brilliantly researched, written, and designed book on etymology. Bonus points for cleverly weaving one word’s story into the next in seamless segues. Endlessly fascinating. Still working my way through the book as there is so much to process.
Review: A Great Gift for Word Nerds - plus built-in bookmark! - If you read "built-in bookmark" and were excited for yourself or on behalf of someone else, you're probably the demographic for this book. I originally got this as an audiobook but even though I enjoyed it, I realized I would retain it better if I read it. I almost got the regular version but I am so glad I sprung for the illustrated version. The illustrations are so fun. A nice lithograph style and I love the placement throughout the book and within the text. Full disclosure, it is a very efficient tangent into the etymology of words that sort of daisy chains into the next topic. It is akin to going down an etymological rabbit hole but in a very clever and cheeky way. I don't know that this book is for everyone but I think if you like it, you'll love it. PLUS A BUILT-IN BOOKMARK! It is trivial but I found it to be so endearing.
