Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition maroon boards, brown spine, and copper spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Richard Lederer; Author Dedication; Introduction. Illustrated with b…lack-and-white drawings by Bernie Cootner. Signed by the author, Richard Lederer, with blue pen on the half title page. "In his dazzling national bestseller Crazy English, Richard Lederer, our premier pundit of semantics, demonstrated the wild unpredictability and wacky illogic of our wonderful mother tongue. Now, in The Play of Words, the play's the thing, as the master of linguistic revels invites his fellow word lovers to enjoy fun and games with one of the most glorious languages on planet Earth. The Play of Words lets you horse around with the animal metaphors that make poetry of everyday speech - as well as with the wheezy cliches that are all too conspicuous in our daily prose. Romp with the rhythms and rhymes of "Inky Pinky,", and see if you can "Name that Bunch" - a prickle of porcupines? a rash of dermatologists? But beware: you can lose points for laughing in "Fictionary." Take a jaunt back to the different ages and stages of English, to the roots of words and the origins of phrases. Find out why we say "happy as a clam," making merry a mollusk otherwise noted for clamming up. Test your knowledge of "What's in a Name" - and who's in a name, for the famous and the forgotten have left their traces everywhere. (Who inspired melba toast? Why do we call cheap finery tawdry?) Take on logic puzzles ancient and modern, and then invent your own. Some of these games are as easy as pie, as rolling off a log, as taking candy from a baby. Others will bring the answers to the tip of your tongue - where they'll remain until another clue jogs your memory. Still others will elude your most concentrated efforts, then jump out and say "boo." But whether you are a trinomial, a crytallaphobe, an etymologist, or an entomologist, whether you play alone or with friends, The Play of Words offers contests in which everyone comes up a winner. Brimming with delightful examples of Richard Lederer's matchless seemantic antics, The Play Of Words will bring you hours of lexicological pleasure - and the opportunity to plant your own imaginative seeds in the ever flourishing garden of the English language." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Cootner, Bernie (illustrations); Valk, Jon (jacket design); Savard, Timothy (author photograph) (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).
