ABOUT THIS BOOK

Short words are the best and old words when short are best of all. Vocabulary is a power house that equips you with What to Say. Yes and no are very short words to say, but we should think for some length of time before saying them. The limits of language are the limits of the mind. Little Red Book of English Vocabulary Today is a treasure chest of words for all age groups. This book is not a run on the mill vocabulary collection. What matters is not just the traditional, language of today also counts: Apeirophobia fear of opening e mails. Bulliphobia fear of not having the remote control. A group of husbands unhappiness. A group of wives impatience, a man does not live on bread alone but by the catch words in his vocabulary. Catch the words and hook the reader and the listener.
