What's the difference between mazes and labyrinths? Proverbs and adages? Clementines and tangerines? Join author Eli Burnstein on a hairsplitter's odyssey into the world of the ultra-subtle with Dictionary of Fine Distinctions. Illustrated by New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck, this humorous dictionary takes a neurotic, brain-tickling plunge into the infinite (and infinitesimal) nuances that make up our world. The perfect gift for book lovers, word nerds, trivia geeks, and everyday readers, this illustrated gem is more than just a book - it is an indispensable resource akin to a thesaurus but filled with charm and wit. Each entry, from 'latte vs. flat white' to 'Great Britain vs. The United Kingdom', is accompanied by mnemonic aids, quirky asides, and detailed illustrations, making it a standout dictionary for any bibliophile or language enthusiast's library.
