About Item: Delacorte Press., 1993. First edition. 1st print, October 1993.. Hard cover. Fine in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. Inscribed by author to "Julie & Allen, 12/9/94" Light jacket edge wear, spine ends, corners.. Thompson, Bill (Illustrations by).. 1 Cloth and paper over boards. 191 p. Comic Pen&Ink Illustrations. Audience: General/trade/wordsmiths. Language Arts & Disciplines: During the 6 years since Lederer published his language humor book, Anguished English, he had 15000 more examples from which to compile 2000 for this book. A sample from a college admission essay: "I was abducted into the national honor society"; OR in an ad: "Try our cough syrup. You will never get any better." Not fabricated; we are just not very smart about our language usage. When we laugh with Lederer, we are more likely to take a second look or listen to what we write or want to say.
