### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience buying used product
*by E***C on May 12, 2017*

First time buying a used product on Amazon. it was described as "good condition" and it was positively pristine with hardly a mark or crease on it. Very happy with this. The book is excellent - fun content for those of us who enjoy etymology.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ More Info for Word Origins
*by V***Y on September 17, 2013*

I had read "heavens to Betsy " and "Thereby Hangs the Tale" .... both of which seemed to be easier to read. This book does have a comprehensive index, but I thought it was awkward to get to the origins I wanted to access.
