The madcap history of the world's longest dictionary and its most enthusiastic contributors. Short of hiring the author to come read it aloud, this is the best way to experience the book. --Orinoco.com staff

Disappointing, June 3, 1999
Reviewer: Chris in the kitchen from Provo, UT
The cover is great. The inside, less so. Maybe I am just not the audience for it.
