This Book is NOT About Dogs

£12.99

Ideal Xmas present: a highly amusing and, indeed, instructive study of how our language has “gone to the dogs”!

Amusingly illustrated: humorous cartoons by Private Eye illustrator Rupert Redway, his interpretation of ‘dogging’ is particularly diverting!

For the curious wordsmith: See how the many metaphors around dogs have triggered some very funny stories and anecdotes from many contributors.

Description

The word ‘DOG’ is used in this book over 1,000 times.

But this book is not about dogs. Rather, about how dogs are woven into our everyday language, and how metaphorical meaning is enriched by our symbiotic relationship with… dogs!

Enriched by stories and anecdotes from the famous and not so famous, comically illustrated by Rupert Redway, this book will inform, amuse and fascinate.

Hardback, 192pp, 198 x 129mm. Text by Raphie Kaplinsky with anecdotes by various contributors; 20 illustrations by Rupert Redway.
