bookshelves: non-fiction, language

A fine pocket novelty book and a better example of its kind than most but, as with this entire sub-genre of language trivia books, finds much of its amusement with what are actually perfectly commonplace and remarkably common features of language, and will seem prone to error and exaggeration to a knowledgeable reader.
