ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Always a great book to dip
~ Written on Jun 29, 2006. 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.

I have a very old copy of this book. This particular purchase was made for a friend in Spain who is interested in the finer points of English. I told her that Partridge was the authority and that he made for very entertaining reading as well. The book is rife with such Edwardian style quips as one that describes one usage as an extremely low banality. A few pages with Partridge and you will be back to Waugh et al.
