Publisher's Synopsis
Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary stands as a one of the great humorous looks at the American language. Filled with snark, wit and outright lies, it continues to delight readers now more than one hundred years after his mysterious disappearance ended the possibility of further entries. During his life it existed in multiple forms. First as random columns in newspapers. Then as The Cynic's Word Book, collecting 521 words, though none starting with M to Z. Finally, it appeared as volume seven in his collected works, covering gratefully the entire alphabet. This edition adds over one hundred additional definitions and variations from his newspaper columns.
