I came for a certain book and left with this one. The cover was unattractively Lichensteinian but I didn’t judge. It’s basically a collection of western idiomatic language that dates back to ancient times to the present. Written by Ralph Keyes, who has written 15 books before, “I LOVE IT WHEN YOU TALK RETRO,” has made the book as a tool for talking like a stuck up cool cat or a tool for decoding your stuck up cool cat friends or even your political science professor that says to his class, “You guys know what I’m talking about.” This is a great informative read, it’s not just a dog and pony read but a three ringed circus of a read!! Dog and pony refers to circus shows that could only afford modest animals(no tigers and elephants).”-Ralph Keyes
