Better that we had sent them Ralph Keyes "I Love It when You Talk Retro."Not just for serious Wordies, this collection of "retro terms" (which Keyes defines as a word or phrase...in current use yet [has]an origin that isn't current") is an equally fun read for your favorite boomer, clueless teenager, or simply the idle curious.It works well as a coffee table reference (we regularly find guests leafing through it) or nightstand favorite; our copy, in fact, has been regularly commuting back and forth between both places.
"I Love It When You Talk Retro" is a wonderful addition to anyone's personal library.
