A Dictionary of Invective: A Treasury of Curses,… por Hugh Rawson
Found in a charity shop a couple of years ago, this is an excellent volume that gives an explanation and origin for almost any swear word or insult you can think of. An extremely useful reference material, and fun to thumb through and snigger at occasionally.
You can't have too many quotation books. This one is arranged alphabetically by topic.
A fun and intriguing collection of "laws." Cites sources and is fairly comprehensive.
