About This Item
Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1965. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 186 pages. 'I have a feeling that many other people whose trade is with words are not sufficiently concerned with finding out what words are. They are happy to join words together but not, in my view, interested in analyzing their sounds, forms, and meanings.' Perhaps prefiguring the invented language of A Clockwork Orange, Burgess invokes examples from languages both European and Eastern. First American edition (first printing). Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with minor wear at the top of the spine. Publisher's review slip laid in.
