The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language

I already own this book and ordered this copy as a gift for a friend. He loves it. Although dated it has much useful material

Best book with a lots of information!

Wow! This is bigger and more detailed than I expected. It would take more years than I have left just to nibble at it. Very impressive scholarship, beautifully presented. I suggest any owner who likes to put books on display for visitors to handle jots pencil notes at random throughout, e.g. 'This confirms my theory', 'Maybe this is overstated', 'Must check this'.

Libro fundamental para Estudios Ingleses. A pesar de ser de segunda mano, el libro no éstaba usado. Entiendo que este libro forma parte de algún stockage. La edición tiene 30 años pero merece la pena.

The book came before the date that was announced and was in best condition, treated in a bibliophile manner. I will buy again when the contents of my purse should allow it. To describe the contents ids to carry coal to newcastle - you can learn a lot.

It's an excellent book to know more about English language, moreover, it has got lots of incredible anecdotes and facts.
