A Crash of Rhinoceroses

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

This an excellent catalogue of collective nouns. The author is British but the book is published in the USA. The copy I purchased was an ex library copy which was in excellent condition, possibly because it did not seem to have been loaned out!
