by Joe Gillard (428.1 Gil)
This is a delightful little book for anyone who enjoys language and archaic words that are little known in today’s society. Each term is coupled with a lovely painting by the Old Masters as well as an example of usage of the word being described. Witty and concise, this book is a quick read.
[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try The Transitive Vampire, by Karen Gordon.]
