Oxford Dictionary of Idioms by John Ayto
This dictionary defines a myriad of phrases and sayings that are used daily in the English language. It contains more than 10,000 idioms, including figurative expressions, similes, sayings, and proverbs, and features usage examples and information on origins for many of them.
I'm impressed with this book.. it has, so far, delivered the goods every time I've consulted it about a particular expression ... A brilliant addition to your reference collection * Terry Freedman, Writer's Know-How *
