Book News Annotation:

An eclectic, idiosyncratic collection, alphabetically arranged by key word in two volumes, with an index in each. A large number of entries have a British orientation (and are not so "common" for Americans); many of the "fallacies" are dubious (e.g. osteopathy). Topics are inadequately addressed (though "authorities" are cited); many are trivial.
