Synopsis
"The Describer's Dictionary" concerns itself with the observable, from shapes to buildings to human beings. "Referably" organized, it uses a handy reverse, definition-to-term format that makes it easy to zero in on the term you're seeking. And as an inspiration to any writer - showing how it's done by the best - hundreds of colorful and evocative descriptive passages from such diverse authors as Dickens, Darwin, and Updike appear on facing pages, making this a singularly and richly different kind of reference book.
