2.		Red Herrings and White Elephants from John Blake Publishing Ltd Price: £5.00 Customer Review: I am also sceptical about books of this nature, because there is always a danger of the author (no matter their intentions) to reuse stories from previous authors that were poorly researched, or just plane wrong.

3.		Shaggy Dogs and Black Sheep: The Origins of Even More Phrases We Use Every Day from Penguin Price: £4.89 Customer Review: All the most known phases, Red Herrings & White Elephants is the one to choose.

8.		That's Bollocks!: Urban Legends, Conspiracy Theories and Old Wives' Tales from Penguin Price: £5.49 Customer Review: It must be easy to write a book like this. Simply gather a bunch of - for the most part - well known Urban Legends, and retell them in a superficial way. The trouble with this book is that very few of the legends are actually debunked. We are led to believe that some of the stories may actually... more info	Customer Rating: 1.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
