Description
No marks or inscriptions. A lovely clean crisp very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked, torn or creased with signs of handling. 128pp. Amusing new definitions for a little over 900 well-known English words, from a cynic's perspective. Examples include - Politician : a bundle of gaseous ambition cleverly packaged as a public servant or a corporate manager, - Neurotic : sane but unhappy about it, - Lottery : the equivalent of betting that the next pope will be from Dingwall, - Cult Film - a movie seen about fifty times by about that many people.
