I can't say I've ever sat down and read a dictionary from cover to cover before. [b:The Lexicologist's Handbook: A Dictionary of Unusual Words 61445682 The Lexicologist's Handbook A Dictionary of Unusual Words Dane Cobain https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1657852231l/61445682.SY75.jpg 96989365] isn't your run-of-the-mill dictionary overwhelming in length. The pages are full of the more fun words in the English vocabulary. What I like most about this book is that the pronunciations are presented phonetically. Some words I knew had different pronunciations than I had always assumed. There were some new words I learned as well. The definitions are easy to read accompanied by their use in a sentence. I plan to revisit this book with a notebook sometime and write down the new words I learned.A huge thanks to the author's team for sending me a free copy of the book to read and review!
