Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Booksellers of the West, listen up: we're betting a California C-note that all you top hands will want a war bag full of Win Blevins's revised and expanded Dictionary of the American West, the only book this side of the Mississippi to embrace the full West in all of its cultural richness. Anyone who loves language will revel in the words, stories, and lore found in this uncommon resource, with over 5,000 words that honor the colorful history of the West and bring the region's present day to vivid life.

Review:

"This revised edition (the first was published in 1993) now includes more words from Alaska and the Pacific Coast states as well as new Indian terms. Some 250 entries are new, and numerous others have been rewritten." Booklist

Review:

"The engagingly written entries are arranged alphabetically and frequently include guides to pronunciation. Overall, an informative and entertaining work." Library Journal
