Review

----- text -----
A dangerously seductive encyclopedic reference to the maddeningly obscure phrase, the curiously opaque line, and the abstruse story. Brewer’s is a necessity for reading books your grandfather read, explaining the vernacular that was part of his language but is, alas, lost to us poor solemn birds. This book, taken with an infusion of Bret Harte’s and Damon Runyon’s filigreed stories, is guaranteed to bring color to your language and whimsy to your correspondence.                      

                                                                  — Jan Adkins
