	'[Hitchings] writes beautiful prose, witty and succinct. His book is full of complex ideas expressed with crystal clarity … The range of his knowledge and curiosity is remarkable … Every paragraph contains a fascinating detail about the English language … I recommend that you rush out to immediately buy it, or to buy it immediately, whichever you prefer.'
