Negative Positive
Title: Inadequate and inaccurate
Review: Do not waste your money on this book. Though it purports to be 'a comprehensive guide to the classical origins of English words', one might better subtitle it 'a scanty collection of classical roots and a few English derivatives of each of them, with ludicrous amounts of space wasted on limp example sentences and excessively verbose explanatory notes for page-padding.' This book's intended audience seems to be the semi-illiterate; and judging by the typographical errors and even etymological errors sprinkled liberally throughout, its authors were as well. Spare your intelligence the insult and buy a good dictionary instead.
