Books for bookie people
Anyone still refer to an actual book for information? I would love to pass on those listed below. Some of it might be, um, a bit dated.
- Roget's thesaurus (have several but not sure what the plural of thesaurus is)
- Fowler's useful tome
- Brewer's dictionary of phrase & fable (quite old)
- Oxford companion to English lit, ed by Margaret Dabble
- dictionaries of English & NZ English
- world gazetteer
- NZ encyclopedia (quite old)
- Grammar of contemporary English (Quirk, Greenbaum & that other chap)
- and a couple of Pope's guides
Or does anyone know how to humanely offload old reference books? I fear the tip awaits these.
