Then again, the book was never meant to be read cover-to-cover; it might not be a rigourously researched 'dictionary', but the contents will no doubt serve to inspire, and if all else fails, serve as a useful swag to display proudly on your bookshelf. For example, under entries like Plastic , one hoping to see discussions on Bauhaus neo-plasticity instead sees a page showing the manufacture of, surprise surprise, plastic. The rest of the book is very much like this entry: taken seriously, it offers little in intellectual depth, but if tackled with a lighthearted attitude, there are a surprising amount of ideas that spring forth from within.
