This so-called dictionary has very few entries to begin with; and the representation of both the Greek and Latin words, along with how they were integrated into the Enlgish language is quite unclear as well. For anyone seeking to begin understanding the roots and growth of the English language, this is certainly not a volume of primary recommendation. Instead, look for the Chambers Dictionary of Etymology, or Raymond E. Laurita's 1001 Affixes and their meanings.

Well organized but if you are looking for a book that gives you the Greek/Latin origins of English words this is not it. This focuses on the Greek or Latin words so you cannot research by English word.

The editorial review that list all 50 greatest drivers didn't spell 'RAY HENDRICK's name correctly. Ray's name is listed as, Ray Henrick.

Please correct the Hendrick name, we are very proud of Ray and he has earned the right to at least be recognized as one of the 50 Greatest Drivers; at least you could spell his name correctly. At least give him that honor. Thank you, Mrs. Roy Hendrick

The book was so beautiful on the shelf that I had to buy it... Then I read the section on Curtis Turner. Ol' Curtis must have been a well-coifed choir boy, according to the way his life and driving record were presented. I leafed the rest of the book with its great photos, but that's about all there is... pretty pictures combined with a total lack of flavor. Someone at NASCAR should be ashamed of themselves...
