Review of Packaging

This book arrived in fairly good condition, although the packaging could have been a little more robust.

Great bathroom reading

If you love the origins of phrases, you'll love this book. Gives a brief history of the phrase, with interesting tid-bits. I like to read about one or two phrases at a time and save the rest for future readings. It's a book you'll return to time and time again because it is so interesting.
