A pleasant read. Nothing spectacular, but I'll always remember it as the book that exposed me to the word "chesterfield" as an item of furniture.

This book is like a warm blanket for readers of English. Cozy, comfortable, words are lovingly laid out for the sake of appreciating the words of English that bathe each of us every day and in myriad ways. The title is perfectly chosen.
