as near a comprehensive dictionary of southern folk idioms and phrases as possible a realistic example of the speaking habits and style of the people of the eastern mountains in America. It's rich and fascinating --"Doc" Kirby, WTBF-FM

Its voluminous, informative, and often-lengthy quotations present the entries in their linguistic and historical context. Those working in Appalachian studies will find it an important source.--CHOICE
