Review:
What do you call the reference of choice for those maddening moments when "you know what it is, but not what it's called?" A Descriptionary, of course! This handy book provides thousands of definitions organized thematically rather than alphabetically. A great reference for writers, students, teachers, crossword puzzle buffs, or any lover of language.
About the Author:
Marc McCutcheon is the author of fourteen books, including Descriptionary; Damn, Why Didn't I Write That?; and Everyday Life in the 1800s. He runs his own bookstore, Once and Again Books, in Scarborough, Maine.
