About This Item
Bobbs-Merrill Company, Indianapolis: (1976)., 1976. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Octavo, hardcover, near fine in VG yellow and black pictorial dj. First edition. To Newman a civil tongue a language that is not bogged down in jargon, not studded with trick phrases, not weighed down with gelatinous verbiage. It is direct, specific, concrete, vigorous, colorful, subtle, and imaginative, and as lucid and eloquent as we are able to make it. 207 pp. including index.
