Sobre este artículo
London, UK: Routledge and Kegan Paul LTD, 1960 Routledge and Kegan Paul LTD, London, UK. 1960. Hardcover. Stated 3rd Edition (Revised) 2nd Time Printed in 1960. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: light bumping to head and tail; light edgewear; light wear of gilt lettering. No DJ. Maroon boards and spine with gilt lettering on spine. 476 pp 4to. Slang is easy to use but very hard to write about as it is a peculiar kind of vagabond language, always hanging on the outskirts of legitimate speech. Slang is the quintessence of colloquial speech and is related more to convenience than to scientific laws, grammatical rules, and philosophical ideals. A clean very presentable copy.

Walnut Valley Books is a small independent home-based business with the bulk of my holdings being of an American military nature covering everything from the Revolutionary War to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also have holdings of books on the Middle East, the southwestern United States (New Mexico especially, Kansas related titles, Oklahoma related titles, and other regionally specialized books. All of my holdings are hand-selected to be good quality books of interest to the reader, historian, or the collector. In addition to the above, you will also find a wide range of other topics such as Medical, US History, autobiographical, biographical, sports, women's studies, and many other eclectic topics.
