Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (18th Edition) Bewertungen

'By judicious updating and editing and by dint of its elegant design and printing, this latest edition retains as strong a place in its reference market niche as it ever did; long may that continue.'

- Stuart James, Past Editor, Reference Reviews, and formerly University Librarian, University of Paisley, UK

An idiosyncratic adventure, pulling you in and saying: "this is, in fact, not what you were

looking for; but it's much more interesting." - Terry Pratchett

Of all the dictionaries in the world [Brewer's] is the most like a treasure-hunt, where one phrase leads to another, and that to a third, and before you know what's happened, it's time for lunch. - Philip Pullman

Brewer's head-words are so enticing and his definitions so eloquent that it's impossible to stop at one. An addiction may develop. - Carol Rumens, The Independent
