Review
This book, which charts one of the more unlikely byways of the English language, has of late been almost legendary in its elusiveness, but we have managed to get copies in a handsome edition, illustrated with a press of engravings. A browse through the 1100-plus collective nouns contained herein will enrich your (no doubt already sparkling) conversation with terms such as ‘a disworship of Scots’, ‘a rash of dermatologists’ and ‘a suffocation of aunts’. - review by John Wyse Jackson (Seán)
