I’m an artist and a martial artist. I write songs. If you can’t get at least 100 good “ways to put something” out of this book, you’re probably writing Crunk music for knuckleheads.
Poetic, homiletic, powerful, comprehensive, so slept on.

Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases by Grenville Kleiser is a book in the public domain and there are several versions available on Amazon as Kindle editions. I actually got samples of all of them before I made my choice. Some cost under a dollar, but the only way to find anything was to endlessly push “Next Page” on my Kindle until I arrived at the section I wanted. This edition cost a little more than the others, but it was the ONLY one that was formatted so I could navigate to the chapter I wanted and even to the first letter of the phrase – Thank you!
I have always been a prolific reader and a lover of the English language. I use to read dictionaries as a child – family and friends thought I was more than a little strange! If you love language like I do, if you recognize the beauty in a well-turned phrase, if you appreciate how precisely chosen words and phrases can evoke new ideas and new trains of thought, AND if you want an edition of Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases that is actually usable – Get This Book!

It may very well be the longest book title ever. “Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases: A Practical Handbook of Pertinent Expressions, Striking Similes, Literary, Commercial, Conversational, and Oratorical Terms, for the Embellishment of Speech and Literature, and the Improvement of the Vocabulary of Those Persons Who Read, Write, and Speak English.” But it’s a wonderful resource for writers. I downloaded the e-book version of this (Sorry, Amazon!) and then downloaded the file (in many parts) to my iPod, to use during essay writing at school. I use it at home when I write my own short stories. I use some of the phrases in my speech, and I can assuredly say, everyone needs a little pizazz in their speech. I would recommend downloading it for free (can’t beat free) but I would GLADLY pay $25 dollars for this book. It’s irreplaceable.
