Words You'll Never Use
This book is pretty cool, although many of these words will never come out of your mouth in everyday conversation...example: "The MISOMUSIST (one who hates learning) feels humiliated by the existance of something that is beyond him, and he hates it..." I still enjoyed reading through all the crazy words and definitions.

A dictionary worth reading. Truly a unique resource.
To read Websters is to fall asleep. To read Miles Westley's dictionary is to be engaged and fascinated. This is a remarkable compilation. Consider the pages turned by the author to arrive at such a dictionary. A real treat to read or simply peruse.

Thank you Miles for this high brow entertainment! Hilarious!
I flip to a random page each night, absorb a few words that I never knew existed, and then attempt to casually incorporate them into my conversations with good friends the following day.
Viola - the reaction written across people's faces is worth every penny and then some. The furrowed eye brough, the wrinkled nose, the subtle tilt of the head, the raised chin, the sudden and incontrollable itch on the forehead, the fluttering of the eyelids, the deer in the headlights, that look of utter amazement and on and on.
I can't wait to try this out when the Hare Krishna's knock on my door.
