Other-Wordly: words both strange and lovely from… di Yee-Lum Mak
This book is magic. The words sound beautiful, the definitions are pure magic and the illustrations are lovely.

DanHelfer | 6 altre recensioni | Dec 29, 2022 | This is such a beautiful little book, filled with lovely words, most of which speak of feelings that can be hard to pin down. I had come across a couple of these words previously, but most of them were new to me. Perfect for any wordnerd or linguistic lover. This book filled a small space in my heart I didn't realize was empty.

chasingholden | 6 altre recensioni | Apr 26, 2022 | I'm a sucker for words; especially unusual words, or foreign-language words that have no straight translation into English, and the beauty of this book's cover made it impossible to resist it, even though I already have similar books.
Luckily this small but beautifully illustrated collection of words are almost entirely different from those found in the books I already have and the author also included English words that are rarely used or hardly known (Deipnosophist, n, someone skilled in small talk or in conversing around the dining table).
Bonus points to the author and publisher for including not only an index of the words themselves, but an index of the words by language. Demerit points because once again nobody thought to include a pronunciation guide, and figuring out how to pronounce cwtch (Welsh, n, hug or cuddle; a safe place; the cupboard beneath the stairs) is beyond my meagre abilities to even guess.… (altro)
