Does anybody have a definite source for a copy of the book The Insect That Stole Butter - The Oxford Book of Word Origins, preferably in UK or Ireland, but elsewhere if the price and postage isn't in the 're-morgage your house' range? Have followed some offered on the net, only to find they are 'will inform you when we get new stock'. Ironically, it is offered free by The Folio Society - if you buy their books, which are in the 're-morgage your morgage on your re-morgaged house' range. The orginal published price was £13.00 sterling - now sadly out-of-print. Jim Carroll
