The Painted Word: A Treasure Chest of Remarkable Words and Their Origins by Phil Cousineau

aseleener's review

3.0

This book is really interesting. I really enjoyed learning the origins of these words. It makes for interesting dinner party conversations too. I did skip over a few; the foreign language entries didn't really interest me. There were several words in here that I had never heard before, so I definitely learned a lot from reading this book. I have its sequel also ([b:The Painted Word: A Treasure Chest of Remarkable Words and Their Origins|13584712|The Painted Word A Treasure Chest of Remarkable Words and Their Origins|Phil Cousineau|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1398673381s/13584712.jpg|19171797] and look forward to reading it sometime.
