SCHOTT'S ORIGINAL MISCELLANY IN JOHANNESBURG

Author: Ben Schott  Publisher: Bloomsbury () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good - Cover has slight wear Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 158 Dimensions: 19.1 x 12 x 1.9 cm +++ by Ben Schott +++ Schott's Miscellany is a fascinating book of interesting, random, bizarre, hilarious, and informative facts, trivia and oddities. From Cockney Rhyming Slang to ways of saying "I love you" in numerous obscure languages (including Braile and Morse code), to sign language, Shakespearian insults and shoelace lengths. Ben Schott admits at the outset that his Miscellany is by no means exhaustive or even relevant. It is, however, a whole lot of fun.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
