Critics’ Reviews<\/p>\n

\u2018Latin for the Illiterati is a perfect companion for every reader, student, and scholar on his or her lifelong journey.\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Ingram<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018Stone\u2026has penned one of those rare reference works that is both highly affordable and highly useful\u2026While many resources supply similar information\u2026few sources also include such a range of sayings and phrases, in this case well over 5,000. In addition, the last section of Stone\u2019s work is a real boon to reference librarians\u2026Highly recommended.\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Library Journal<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018If you\u2019re a student trying to improve your vocabulary, this is a great book. If you\u2019re a law student trying to figure out what phrases meant before they meant what they did what they mean, this is a great book. For those who have forgotten the three years of parochial-school Latin, this is a really great book.\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Publisher\u2019s Weekly<\/em><\/p>\n

Latin for the Illiterati<\/em>\u00a0will be a\u00a0terminus ad quem<\/em>\u00a0(i.e., finishing point) for many a question about the\u00a0terra incognita<\/em>\u00a0(i.e., unknown land) that even common Latin expressions are to many people today. [The book], of course, delves more deeply into the Latin lexicon than a polyglot source\u2026and there in lies its value.\u2019 Bene!<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Rettig on Reference<\/em><\/p>\n
