Classicly

At first glance some might think this book is about birdwatching--but orthography, derived from the Greek means "to write right," and the science of it explores the nature and powers of the letters of a language and correct spelling. This book is great for word lovers and geeks alike, and it reads like a list of trivia questions that can be enjoyed in small doses.

1001 Questions and Answers on Orthography and Reading is among a series of 1001 Q & A books. In this volume there is some filler, such as a short and pointless list of abbreviations, but the list of signifiers makes up for it. For example: # 64: What does Stereo signify? Solid, as [in] stereotype. Scrabble nuts and logophiles will certainly find this work fascinating.
