Deda Rae Gamble

"A word is a word is a word" but to Deda Rae Gamble words have been her life.  As a columnist for the Daily Register of Brookings, SD, from February 1981 until May 1986, her fascination with words identified her writing... malaprops, spoonerisms, phrase origins, trivia, headlines, maxims, Tom Swifties, newspaper oops, blank expressions, pruned proverbs, and postscripts.  This book is a collection of some of her best columns.
