Rezension zu „How to Sound Clever “
'This admirable book is a wholly welcome antidote to the semi-demi-literacy of the 21st century. Go out and buy it!' Colin Dexter 'Van den Bergh has produced a volume of words we all use, nod at and try to explain to other people - all with too little knowledge of their real meaning. It is time to claim back a semblance of literacy with this sublime lexicon.' The Field (December 2010)
