4.0 out of 5 stars
Good--but Anglocentric and only runs through 1982,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Trade Name Origins (Artful Wordsmith Series) (Paperback)
With "Trade Name Origins" Adrian Room delivers another fine work of lexicography and onomastics. However, be forewarned: as he is an Englishman, this work has much stronger coverage of British companies than of companies based in the U.S., Japan, and Europe (though the major ones are covered, e.g. Coke, Sony, Agfa). Also, this is a reprinting of the 1982 edition, not a new edition, so there is no mention of companies formed after that date. This is apparently the only dictionary of this sort out there, though, so even if it weren't up to Room's usual high standard it would still be a valuable addition to your reference shelf.
