Following on from the best-selling titles Anguished English and More Anguished English, Richard Lederer's latest humorous collection comprises a wonderful concoction of fluffs, goofs, gaffes, botches and blunders, including new categories concerning the things kids say in churches ('Solomon had 300 wives and 500 porcupines'), a history of the United States according to students ('World War I made the people so sad that it brought on the Great Depression'), hilarious menu items that are lost in translation ('Our wines leave you nothing to hope for'), and the Hall of Fame section that highlights the all-time bloopers. Filled with Lederer's trademark intelligence, humour and down-to-earth advice, this newest instalment of the gifts of our oddball language is a book to cherish.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
