Book Synopsis
We challenge "Bibliophile's" in the title: the book lacks Aldus leaf, text block, and signature. It is a fun browse of such terms as prolix, sophist, and crapulous (among our favorites). Pronounciation is provided along with definitions and quotations from, chiefly, important authors. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
