Present Perfect Thought this would make good present for hosts of weekend house party and so it proved - excellent icebreaker and other guests with age range of 10-88 all found something to interest them. Grandmother knew exactly what a chiffonier was, but hadn't a clue about dongles. The 10 year old was up to speed with his techie terminology but there were a host of other things he'd never even heard of - he was intrigued and so were older, cooler fellow guests. Well-written and amusing.
The Thingummy by Whatsisname An original idea and a clever book.
No more whatsisnaming or thingummybobbing with this mini illustrated encyclopedia to give you the answers to the question "I wonder what that's called?".
This is an interesting and amusing read. Pick it for a few moments and come away with another gem with which you can impress you friends with the precision of your language.
Its a real bargain hardback that would grace any coffee table and help fill that stocking.
thingummys explained This is such a fun book, wittily written with superb illustrations. I'm just amazed that nobody has come up with this idea before. In our house, we find ourselves more and more having to resort to using words such a 'doobery' to describe thingummys such as the TV or sky+ remote....and this book is full of simple things that we often don't know the proper name for. It's a perfect Christmas present and I'm sure it will be a huge seller this year.The Thingummy
