Title: De Silva's etymological dictionary of Spanish
Product review: This book was a very pleasant surprise: an excellent, ample etymological dictionary of Spanish at an affordable price and not too heavy!The dictionary provides a very informative and erudite history of Spanish words without being unclear or unreadable. I particularly liked the treatment of prefixes and suffixes as well as the etymology of non-Spanish place names such as "Londres" or "Zurich". This dictionary should be of great use to anyone who is interested in the comparative development of Romance languages, linguistics or in etymology in general.
