I too have ordered the book and CD ... I wrote about the dictionary and the loss of words back in 2015 ... but this sounds an amazingly creative way to get the word out. Thanks so much for posting about it ... and I'll do a post at some stage and refer back here - wonderful read. Cheers Hilary<br /><br />PS - they did put blog in ... perhaps they'll get some young bloggers?!Hilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-24718794803859333822019-07-23T15:56:12.691+01:002019-07-23T15:56:12.691+01:00I love the effort of these artists and musicians. ...I love the effort of these artists and musicians.
