'Dear Readers,

'You may not know me, but I know you. I am - the WORD SPY.

'Ever since I can remember, I've been listening to, speaking, reading, and yes, spying on words. The time has come for me to share with you some of the many things I have discovered. All you have to do is open this book ... the wonderful world of words awaits!' (Publisher's blurb)
