"A great idea, beautifully realized. I shall never have a latte again without thinking of this book! A joy to read." --David Crystal, Linguist and Author of The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language "Mark Twain once advised, 'Use the right word, not its second cousin.' Eli Burnstein's delightful book will help you figure out just the right word to use when nuances matter. And it will even help you figure out your cousins: What's the difference between a second cousin and a cousin twice removed, anyway? The answer lies within!" --Ben Zimmer, Wall Street Journal language columnist "Like bringing a blurry image into focus, the fine distinctions we make in English sharpen our view of the world. Eli Burnstein's witty explanations clarify our choice of words and remind us that, with language, precision is its own reward." --Peter Sokolowski, Editor at Large, Merriam Webster, "This delightful book is a tribute to the genius of the human mind for conceptual precision and the beauty of the English language in capturing it. It resolves a great deal of puzzlement over confusable terms, and its endearing illustrations and lighthearted explanations multiply the satisfaction." -- Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct and Rationality "This solid little volume is that rare thing: a usage manual that is both smart and utterly beguiling." -- Mary Norris, former copy editor at The New Yorker and author of Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen "A great idea, beautifully realized. I shall never have a latte again without thinking of this book! A joy to read." --David Crystal, Linguist and Author of The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language "Mark Twain once advised, 'Use the right word, not its second cousin.' Eli Burnstein's delightful book will help you figure out just the right word to use when nuances matter. And it will even help you figure out your cousins: What's the difference between a second cousin and a cousin twice removed, anyway? The answer lies within!" --Ben Zimmer, Wall Street Journal language columnist "Every page of Eli Burnstein's treasure of a book yields unexpected delights and talking points. His sense of humour and passion for esoteric knowledge have inspired me to engage with language in a different way. I know I'll keep dipping into it all over again periodically for years to come." -- Mae Martin , Comedian and Writer "Like bringing a blurry image into focus, the fine distinctions we make in English sharpen our view of the world. Eli Burnstein's witty explanations clarify our choice of words and remind us that, with language, precision is its own reward." -- Peter Sokolowski, Editor at Large, Merriam-Webster, "Shrewdly treading the line between informativeness and pedantry....One doesn't have to read for long before experiencing a 'Eureka' moment, in which a previously murky subject comes into focus." -- The Wall Street Journal "This delightful book is a tribute to the genius of the human mind for conceptual precision and the beauty of the English language in capturing it. It resolves a great deal of puzzlement over confusable terms, and its endearing illustrations and lighthearted explanations multiply the satisfaction." -- Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct and Rationality "This solid little volume is that rare thing: a usage manual that is both smart and utterly beguiling." -- Mary Norris, former copy editor at The New Yorker and author of Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen "A great idea, beautifully realized.

The sensation of reading him is that of strolling outdoors with a friend who's just read a great explanatory treatise on, well, actually, everything, and whose demeanor is bubbly, useful, endlessly curious, and never didactic." --Natan Last, New York Times crossword contributor and author of The Electric Grid, "A great idea, beautifully realized.

It resolves a great deal of puzzlement over confusable terms, and its endearing illustrations and lighthearted explanations multiply the satisfaction." --Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct and Rationality What's the difference between mazes and labyrinths? Proverbs and adages? Clementines and tangerines? Join author Eli Burnstein on a hairsplitter's odyssey into the world of the ultra-subtle with Dictionary of Fine Distinctions . Illustrated by New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck, this humorous dictionary takes a neurotic, brain-tickling plunge into the infinite (and infinitesimal) nuances that make up our world. The perfect gift for book lovers, word nerds, trivia geeks, and everyday readers, this illustrated gem is more than just a book--it is an indispensable resource akin to a thesaurus but filled with charm and wit.

The quintessential librarian gift and English teacher gift, it's an educational odyssey that's as entertaining as it is enlightening., 'This delightful book is a tribute to the genius of the human mind for conceptual precision and the beauty of the English language in capturing it.

They have great buy two get one free sales and their prices are great. The dvd set was listed as good and it showed up looking as new. I keep coming back to them for their veritery, prices, shipping speed and communication. Don't know yet if it's a good miniseries, but it is a good seller to buy from.

This copy worked great. The seller refunded my defective copy without hesitation and gladly allowed me to buy again. I will buy from this seller if they have any other DVDs I ever need. This is the kind of seller you want to buy from. They communicate well too.* The DVD set was a fantastic price too, thanks again.!

Other than the flimsy bag, everything was great!
