Finally, there¹s a run of 50 special-interest tests ranging from America Cities to botany, and opera to sports. Filled with fascinating spelling lore, such as Ben Franklin¹s efforts to reform our spelling system, and a brief history of why English is so complicated.Grambs, David is the author of 'Ultimate Spelling Book More Than 100 Tests, Super Tests and Killer Spelling Bees', published 1989 under ISBN 9780756750008 and ISBN 0756750008.
