from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
True to its engaging title, which is why I wanted to read it, Roy Blount's Alphabet Juice is indeed full of examples of usage "foul and savory." I like it because I agree so often with what he says about misused and overused words like awesome, just, hopefully, literally, incredible--as well as... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Nightingale-Conant
Customer Review:
Reading this somewhat dated, self-help-centered, yet ultimately brilliant book reminded me of discussing a thorny subject with an eccentric college professor: He or she might be disorganized and a bit unconventional but the luminance of (presumed!) great ideas shines through.

Price: $2.00
Customer Review:
The Easy Spanish Phrase Book was helpful for learning key phrases to help one communicate with Spanish speaking persons. It was a bargain for what it was intended to do. It was not, however, a guide for general conversation or idententifing specific words and was limited to set phrases. For this... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Most of the complaints come from the author allegedly using left wing examples. This is not necessarily true. If you are giving an important speech in front of a large audience you must be politically correct. You don't won't to end up like Trent Lott do you? An example is given like this: You're... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
