Thank you to John Murray Press | Chambers for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own. 

You ever start to look up something and then that one thing leads to like 16 other links and the next thing you know it’s 24 hours later and you are so deep in a rabbit hole the web page you’re on looks like it was last updated in 1997? This book is that. But with words. And it’s marvelous. You will have all the ammo you need to start any and all conversations with “well, actually” and it will be glorious. What you think you know will be challenged (synergy is an old word!) and words you think are old are in fact, less than 100 years old. The book is formatted incredibly well, and can be consumed in small doses or a sit-down read through. 

This is one that I can easily say before I’m even 10% into this book that I will be purchasing a hardbound copy.  (Narrator She did in fact pre-order a copy.) This is the absolute perfect book to gift to any word nerd or professional communicator in your life.
