Words unusual for their structure -- fascinating!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Some people don't appreciate the uniqueness of this book, which is fascinating because it presents hundreds of words that are unique for their structure. No other book does this. It points out words that are special, not because of their meanings, but because of the way their letters are arranged. This is the "Guiness Book" of words, for each word has some unusual characteristic. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in words for their own sake. Wonderful!
