ReplyDeleteBeautiful. My mom is the youngest of four sisters and as the youngest she graduated from college last. It had been a tradition for the four sisters to pass down their mother's dictionary from one to the other and eventually I ended up with it. Though my girlfriend doesn't really understand, that book with all it's coffee stains, ripped pages, scribbled notes and even a duct tape repair is one of my most prized possessions.
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
awesome giveaway. I would look up the word "fanny." I imagine the example sentence looking something like this: "Goodness, Marcus, perchance your gaze has happened upon Gwendolyn's robust fanny?"
ReplyDeleteThis would make an awesome gift to my wife who is an English professor. Thanks for the opportunity.

ReplyDeleteI literally squealed when I saw this - does that make me a pathetic nerd?
ReplyDeleteYou can call me whatever you want if I win!
I love dictionaries. This is an amazing piece!
ReplyDeleteI too use the Webster's 1828 online. Not as good as a real book though. I'm too tactile a person. Most of my books, research and dictionary/thesaurus type are from C19 and I would love to add this. Imagine how many hands have paged through this over the years and what they were looking for.
ReplyDeleteCount me in please!!!
