Title: A Logophile's Lark
Review: First off, this is a review of the Second Edition, published in 2004, which, for whatever reason, Amazon doesn't have listed. This "encyclopedia" is a sort of Yank version of Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, so popular in England. It's fun to read or skim through the anecdotal etymologies provided, even if, at the end of the entry, Hendrickson admits that they're probably apocryphal. The only two criticisms I have of this 2004 edition are that there are far too many ephemeral entries from the last few years that probably won't outlive the decade and, secondly, Hendrickson is a wee bit too obviously a baseball fanatic and there is far too large a proportion of baseball-derived entries than is merited - Aside from these two small criticisms, an irresistible compilation of words, phrases and the stories (true or not) behind them.
