Praise for the two-volume New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English : 'the king is dead. Long live the king! ''‚¬¦ The old Partridge is not really dead; it remains the best record of British slang antedating 1945 ''‚¬¦ Now, however, the preferred source for information about English slang of the past 60 years is the New Partridge.'  ''‚¬"  James Rettig, Booklist, American Library Association 'Most slang dictionaries are no better than momgrams or a rub of the brush, put together by shmegegges looking to make some moola. The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English , on the other hand, is the wee babes.' ''‚¬" Ian Sansom, The Guardian 'A great book.' ''‚¬" Susie Dent
