Knopf, Sydney, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Illustrator: Petty. VI, 202 pages, last 4 pages blank (intentionally) introduction by author, acknowledgements, bibliography. Pink coloured endpapers with Petty's iconic illustrations. Black coloured boards with gilt titles to the backstrip. " " Illustrated dustwrapper, with pink, white and black titles to the front panel and black and white titles to the backstrip. The book is free of annotation." "In this book, part diatribe, part cool reflection on the state of Australia's public language, the author takes a blowtorch to the words -- and their users -- who kill joy, imagination and clarity. I personally find it ironic that a one-time political speechwriter now complains about the de-meanification (a nice word which I think I just made up) of the English-language. the book and dustjacket are in very good condition, there being no damage to describe ( slight crease to the top left of the front panel of the wrapper ). Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Illustrator: Petty. Quantity Available: 1. Category: History; Language ; Australia; ISBN: 1740512065. ISBN/EAN: 9781740512060. Inventory No: 0278286. . 9781740512060
