I'm working my way through my bookcase with a vengeance - a major clear-out is in the offing.
Consequently I've just inspected 'The English Language' by Robert Burchfield. God knows when I bought it but I know it cost a far bit: Hardbark folio edition - London 2006 - brand new.
What a pile of rubbish! Took me less than 5 mins of careful, close inspection to realise that there was not a single thing I wanted to read in fine detail.
I hope that the rest of books on my shelves do not have the same impression on me.
