New York: Penguin Books, 1993. Soft cover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Fine. See scans and description. New York: Penguin Books, 1993, this being the 8th printing of the New and Revised Edition of the famous McCrum / Cran / MacNeil collaboration, 'The Story of English'. Wide octavo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, xx + 394 pp. Fine. Quite literally , no salient flaws; just not quite brand spanking new. Sharp, bright, and tight. See scans. Companion to the renowned PBS television series on the topic, The Story of English is one of the most engaging, absorbing treatments of a language and its history imaginable; impossible to put down. Inspired scholarly text by the collaborating trio, and plenty of relevant graphics throughout. This is one of those titles that your loved ones will keep 'liberating' from you if you don't keep your eyes on it. I've bought it four times. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box; not a bag. LG13
