      Used Like New(1 Copy): Corrigan, Dennis Illustrations Bell, Ron Illustrations Like-New Copy. Satisfaction guaranteed/Fast shipping First edition. 3 vols. in box. 384 p.; Product Dimensions: 8.8 x 5.7 x 2 inches; Hardcover; Shipping Weight: 2 pounds #1The Superior Person's Book of Words, #2The Superior Person's Second Book of Weird & Wondrous Words #3Thw Superior Person's Third Book of Well-Bred Words...This special collection gathers into one affordable, attractive package all three of the invaluable volumes that comprise Mr. Bowler's timeless trilogy. The author's purpose in compiling these small, elegant, and edifying works is to give readers "a more finely tuned engine of the language they speak, so they may more readily assert their linguistic superiority over their fellow travelers at the traffic stops of life." The Superior Person's Books of Words offers a panoply of 1, 800 arcane but totally plausible words that neither you nor your loved ones has ever heard, plus textual advice on how to use them to confound your friends, irritate your enemies, and impress your superiors. There's yet more: anecdotes of eccentric scholars, the unbelievable and irrevocable mistakes of the rich and famous, examples of idiotic concepts, and further oddities and curiosities of the so-called intellectual life.
