[Ads-l] Ralph Keyes files and books

[Ben Yagoda]

The author Ralph Keyes asked me to send along this message.—Ben

The author of The Hidden History of Coined Words, Ralph Keyes, is disposing of the files he compiled to write that book (and others on language). They comprise some 18-20 bankers' boxes of material. In lieu of recycling their contents,  he'd be happy to send the files to whoever might like to acquire them, for the cost of shipping. He also has an extensive library of books on language that he'd be willing to send to an interested party for the cost of shipping.  It comprises some 120 volumes on etymology, slang, euphemisms, quotations, etc. He can be contacted at rjkize at gmail.com <mailto:rjkize at gmail.com> for a photo of or more information about these volumes.
