Food for the Wordy

The wordy set might find the following publication subscription-worthy [ found on the American Dialect Society website ]:

“Allan Metcalf mentions Comments on Etymology, an on-paper newsletter edited by Gerald Cohen. Allan says, "for anyone seriously interested in the origins of American expressions, especially slang ones, CoE is indispensable. For anyone not-so-seriously interested, it's entertaining and engaging." The newsletter includes heavy and regular contributions by Barry Popik. To subscribe, send $13 (if an individual; $17 if an institution), payable to "Comments on Etymology," to Gerald Cohen, Dept of Applied Arts and Cultural Studies, University of Missouri-Rolla, Rolla, MO 65401.”

Also, the long-awaited 4th volume of Dictionary of American Regional English is scheduled to be released in December by HUP. I hope I can get a copy before leaving the continent since the 3 volumes I have are so well done and so interesting that I'd really like to keep the series going on my bookshelf. :)
