In an age where limited vocabularies abound here is a collection of rare and neglected words that, if reintroduced, will help breathe much-needed life, savour and vitality back into the English language.
Each of these 100 hand-picked words comes with a definition, a bona-fide quotation from literature, and various witty and entertaining apologetics from the author explaining its inclusion in the book. Each word perfectly describes an aspect of contemporary life that will undoubtedly resonate with readers who are fed up with the tired old language in general circulation. The author's mission is to bring these words back into usage before they fall under another lexicographer's hatchet.

Now in its fourth edition, the bestselling A TO Z OF EVERYTHING is a unique publication. Nothing as comprehensive has appeared before. With subjects from Abbreviations to the Zodiac, some of the book's sections almost stand up as reference works in their own right: the section on Music encompasses more information than many specialist titles; the section on Cinema includes all films of general interest (and the first and last films of a multitude of stars); History includes a detailed chronology of world events; and the section on Geography is perhaps the place to find a fully comprehensive list of 'Capitals of the World', even those of uninhabited Pacific islands. The section on Famous People, including their pseudonyms and even their middle names, is second to none in its thoroughness. In this new edition, the original topics have been brought up to date.
