Approximately 1,200 pages of musty paradise, “containing more than six thousand modern words and twenty-five thousand acceptations, idioms and technical terms not found in any other similar work: with a pronouncing key and the fundamental tenses of irregular verbs.”

I suppose it wouldn’t make much sense for me to drive a thousand miles and drop by your place to pick them up, but I’m tempted.
