David Crystal's
By Hook or by Crook receives warm praise from
The Bloomsbury Review in the May/June 2008 issue: "Crystal stands out amongst contemporary linguists, as his ruminations on the language often go beyong strict linguistic study and delve into the realm of the trivial, the unusual, the humorous, or the fascinating - in short, all those things avid readers find intriguing about language.
By Hook or By Crook may be Crystal's most unusual contribution to this field yet, and perhaps his most enjoyable as well."
