International English Usage: An Encyclopedic Reference Guide by Loreto Todd

I can't believe I've been lugging this around for several homes. It's a *manual,* ferpeetsake. There's no possibility of actually *reading* it. My only excuse is that I bought it (used) pre-goodreads, back when I took rec's from other author's bibliographies and from other sources less trustworthy than *GR friends* (in this case the rec was from [a:Lynne Truss|5571|Lynne Truss|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1215628380p2/5571.jpg]). I'd look at it more carefully to consider show more whether to recommend it to you, but in this age of portable devices that give you reams of info. at a few clicks (or even at a voice query), it's just not necessary. Too bad. show less
