The Boston Dictionary

This book is absolutley hilarious. If you plan to spend some time in "Bawstin", or if you already have, then you HAVE to read this book. It will help you pronounce words like Worcester (MA second largest city). Say it with me now, "Wis-tah". I know, it looks like War-kester, but if you "tok" like that you will be promptly sent to the "bordah". The books format is useful, too. It is (more-or-less) laid out like a dictionary, with entries from A-Z. It is also profusely illustrated with line drawings by Peter Wallace that will have you rolling in the isle. Getchuz a copy of dis wun!
