Now celebrating 30 fabulous years as the best and bestselling word calendar, 365 New Words-A-Year is the perfect gift for writers, readers, students, crossword buffs, and etymology aficionados. On every page is a great new way to boost your everyday vocabulary. There are million-dollar words (paroemiologist: a student of proverbs), folksy words (thank-you-ma'am: a bump or depression in a road), and more. You're sure to avoid catachresis (use of the wrong word for the context), because each entry includes a definition, pronunciation, sample sentence, and detailed word history.

The calendar was great and just what I was looking for- for my literature lovin' sister who always enjoys new words and meanings. She has yet to use it because it is a 2010 calendar but It'll be perfect!!

I get this one every year. Our family loves words and my boys have been complimented on their vocabulary since they were little guys so it's become a tradition for us. It's a fun and quick way to keep on learning.
