Hilarous and timeless, a party favorite. This unique dictionary of the Australian language had three generations of my family rolling on the floor and gasping for breath. A delightful journey which will change the way you hear spoken English forever.

This is a treat for all language freaks. With tongue planted firmly in cheek--but with no speech impediment--Professor Lauder reveals the mysteries of the Australian argot. An indispensable guide for the traveler or the armchair student of English dialect. Hilarious and informative. Scholarship is seldom this much fun. Professor Henry Higgins is rolling in his grave with utter glee at the exploits of his estimable colleague, Afferbeck Lauder.

I bought this for my son who wanted to give it as a gift to one of his high school teachers. It was in as great a condition as one can expect from a 1965 book that is no longer in circulation. Very fair price (compared to what else was out there), and it arrived well packaged and earlier than expected. Thank you!

Great group of shippers behind this order!
Understood my need to have the product right away and complied beautifully.
My friend who left for Australia yesterday took the book with him and I'm sure it will be the topic of some great conversations Down Under!

Saw them on Amazon. Looked more sturdy than any others I'd seen. Bought two and wasn't disappointed so bought this for the new bass I've just acquired.

I first encountered Strine working with an Aussie in the late 60's, and am delighted to find this little treasure of memories!.
