Astounding, Astonishing...and that is just the first chapter

This is a great book for those out there that want to improve their vocab. I bought this not so much to expand my speaking vocab (many people would say i use too many words already!) but more so that i could pin down the exact meanings of words i come across in books: the type of words you can usually understand from context but don't *quite* know the exact meaning for.Each chapter covers words starting with one letter. There are various exercises, all quite easy, and usually one fun one as well. Becuase these are all short, they are the type of thing you can knock-off in 10-15 minutes - before work or in a coffee break. I think that many readers will be surprised in how much they already know.This is not the book for people who think the best way to improve their vocabularly is to read the dictionary from start to finish, and promise themselves they will use the word 'anthromorphism' five times in their conversation today. However, if you want to know a bit more about the words you use, and perhaps learn something interesting, this little book is for you
