Summary: Never enough words
Comment: From the introduction, where CONFISCATE is mentioned as an example of an extended earlier English word, and then the author provides NO details, P xxi,the book diappoints. By page 46,where THE WHOLE NINE YARDS is referenced, is it clear that the book is a waste of time. It tells you THE WHOLE NINE YARDS has "literally dozens of etymololgies have been suggested" then states "most of which are provably wrong", but fails to give the basis of the proof and simply moves on like a puff piece book. Skip it.
