This is the most interesting and satisfying book on English etymology in my collection, because it gives much richer context to the word origins than do the others. It's a shame that the book is out of print. I would like to start a campaign to have it reissued or -- even better -- to have the author give us a second, expanded, edition. And just in case he ever reads this review, "Many thanks."
