SUMMARY

Modern dictionaries are the result of a paring away of the glory of the English language, so that merely standard, functional, current words remain. The price paid for such convenience is the thousands of delightful words never used. This volume saves such words from obliteration. "Like animals, plants and book reviewers, words can become extinct, but Grambs is here to salvage the most missed of the lexical dinosaurs".--"San Francisco Chronicle".Grambs, David is the author of 'Endangered English Dictionary Bodacious Words Your Dictionary Forgot' with ISBN 9780393036237 and ISBN 0393036235.
