About this Item
Description:
A bright, square, and overall a nice copy. Seller Inventory # BOS-A-05b-02261
Synopsis:
Includes more than 200 new entries and updates or revises 175 more. The dictionary also supplies additional background on existing entries and clarifies the origins of several jargon terms.
Review:
A sprightly lexicon.--William Safire "New York Times Magazine "
My current favorite is 'wave a dead chicken.' New to you? You've waved a dead chicken when you've gone through motions to satisfy onlookers (suits?), even when you're sure it's all futile. Raymond's book exhilarates... "The New Hacker's Dictionary," though, is not for skimming. Allot, each day, a half hour, severely timed if you hope to get any work done.--Hugh Kenner "Byte "
