a book of possible interest

[Laurence Horn]

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/22/books/review/Shea-t.html

A new usage guide ("a manual for the 21st century"), apparently
relatively reasonable as these things go.  Ammon Shea's review is
quite favorable, except for taking understandable umbrage (Shea,
after all, is the guy who read the OED cover(s) to cover(s)) with the
author's OED-trashing and urbandictionary promotion.  Has anyone on
the list seen the book?
