Title: Give it a pass
Review: Rheingold has written a self-important book that pulls untranslatable words from a myriad of languages (Apache, Hawaiian, Pascuense, German, Italian, Bantu, Scottish, Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, Polish, Yiddish, Arabic, Mayan, Balinese, and many more). Rheingold gives a verbose translation (without a pronunciation guide).I doubt many wordsmiths will even find this book interesting. This book is certainly not the "writer's perfect tool" as billed on the back cover.
