The Best Book of Its Kind I Know,
By
This review is from: Palindromes and Anagrams (Paperback)
This short, inexpensive book contains the best collection of anagrams and palindromes I have ever seen. My copy is dog-eared from repeated use. The book contains an enormous amount of top-notch palindromes that are far from over-familiar. Some samples:* A new order began; a more Roman age bred Rowena. Those samples may strike you as silly and meaninglesss, in which you are not a palindrome person, and this book is not for you. Or they may make you want to see more, in which case you should definitely buy this book. The palindromes by J.A. Lindon, which make up the book's grand finale chapter, are amazing tours de force. Trust me -- this book has the goods. If you are a wordplay enthusiast, you'll love it. If you know one (perhaps a co-worker), it could make a great inexpensive gift. Strongly recommended!

A must for wordplay enthusiasts.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Palindromes and Anagrams (Paperback)
Howard W. Bergerson, former editor of Word Ways: The Journal of Recreational Linguistics, presents more than a thousand anagrams and hundreds of palindromes (with sources, where known).This volume (an inspiration for many books including Michaelsen's "Words at Play" and Jon Agee's collections) is a must for wordplay enthusiasts, especially those with a penchant for these particular curiosities. You will get your money's worth on this one.
