The Word Detective : Solving the Mysteries behind those Pesky Words and Phrases. (Evan Morris)
3.5 stars. The entries in this book appear to be taken from a column that Morris writes (I don't have the reference offhand). Reasonably entertaining, and seems free of the obvious 'false etymologies' that float around the internet. The selection of words included is interesting enough, without being thrilling.
