About me I am a lexicographer of anglophone slang; the most recent of my books being the Cassell Dictionary of Slang (revised and expanded edition, 2005) and a new and further revised single-volume dictionary will appear in October 2008: The Chambers Slang Dictionary. I am currently working on a multi-volume, fully cited dictionary of slang 'on historical principles' which will be published by Chambers in 2009.
About my library A core of slang-related reference works; a large group of books which I not merely read but from which I glean citations (i.e, pulp, crime and hard-boiled fiction of various ages and quality) biographies, history, lowlife, cities, 'non-slang' fiction, rats and all the rest...the agglomeration of a lifetime of loving books.
