preface to Bill Bryson's dictionary for writers & editors - Bill Bryson

This quote was added by larajanet45
It is a personal collection, built up over thirty years as a writer and editor in two countries, and so inevitably - inescapably - it reflects my own interests, experiences, and blind spots. You may not need, as I do, to be reminded that it is Anjelica Huston but Whitney Houston, or have occasion at any point in your life to write the name of the district of Sydney known gloriously and unimprovably as Woolloomooloo.
