Un libro inutilissimo ma piacevole, con acrostici, anagrammi, antigrammi (funeral = real fun), cronogrammi, lipogrammi (Mary had a tiny lamb, it’s wool was pallid as snow – in cui manca sempre la lettera “e”), palindromi (A man, a plan, a canal: Panama), pangrammi (The quick brown fox…ma non solo), univocalici (Meg kept the wee sheep / The sheep’s fleece resembled sleet…). Serve a poco ma può piacere ai patiti della parola. Segnalato da Simon Turner Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

It is a fun book with surprises about WORDS, meanings and their usage. There are many words left to discover that are not in this small book. However, this book will
consume most of your life to even remember half of it.
