Description
Note inside front cover and minor marking to one page. Very faint crease to lower corner of front cover, none to spine. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards, nick to fore-edge of front cover and no bumping but slight rubbing to some corners. 310pp. A celebration of the vitality and variety of the Englsh language, which traces the flowering of the language from its simple Saxon beginnings to its present complexity as the language with the most extensive and expressive vocabulary in the world.
