THE REVENGE OF ANGUISHED ENGLISH (St. Martin’s Press hardcover)

Richard Lederer has been called Attila the Pun, Conan the Grammarian, and the Viceroy of Verbivores.  In his just-released The Revenge of Anguished English (Book of the Month Club, History Book Club, Quality Paperback Book Club), this Abbot of Absurdity (as People magazine has dubbed him) leaves us limp with laughter at how the innocent, the negligent, and the pompous mangle the English language.
