Customer Reviews

New words brought to life through familiar feelings

I have been an avid follower of John's blog and subsequent YouTube channel for some time now, so I was very excited to hear of the release of this book. I quite enjoyed reading John's dictionary for everyday words that don't have words to describe them.
