Get this from Amazon UK,
By Jeffrey amzn Hill (Mill Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable, 18th edition (Hardcover)
A great book, but Amazon US is charging about $63 while Amazon UK is only charging about 10 pounds, a huge difference. Shipping cost are similar. Go to the UK web site.

This review is from: Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable, 18th edition (Hardcover)
I've read or browsed through every Brewer's edition since #13, and this is an excellent update. Some of Dr. Brewer's original definitions are included (a new feature, everything old is new again), which offers a delightful window into the original text. Brewer's is an excellent reference (What does that name MEAN in Harry Potter? Who was that Tolkien wizard?), but it's also just plain fun to read.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This Brewer's Dictionary was purchased as a gift, after I had received it and thumbed through it a few times I had to buy another for our house hold too.
