Description

NY: W. W. Norton, 1995. 389 pages of the correct usage of "problem" words in the English language (including slang, "vogue words", longer definitions/histories of "Standard English" and "Standard American'); interesting stuff. Excellent copy: tiny (and I do mean tiny) bit of bumping at head/heel of spine else the book is entirely as new with NO previous owner's signature/bookplate/highlighting/underlining/notes/stamps. The dj is very slightly rubbed, has a tiny (again, I do mean tiny) bit of upper edge creasing else as new, also, with NO tears/chips/other creases. NOT an ex-library, NOT a remainder. Fine in Fine dj.. 1st US Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine.
