| Notes: | The Superior Person's Books of Words offers a panoply of arcane but totally plausible words that neither you nor your loved ones has ever heard, plus textual advice on how to use them to confound your friends, irritate your enemies and impress your superiors. There's yet more: anecdotes of eccentric scholars, the unbelievable and irrevocable mistakes of the rich and famous, examples of idiotic concepts, and further oddities and curiosities of the so-called intellectual life. |
