Review: The F-Word

The F-Word The F-Word by Jesse Sheidlower
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This rather serious study of THE four-letter word is in two parts: an overview of the word's history and acceptance in dictionaries and print and then a dictionary of the word, including variants and phrases. There are many, many sources for the entries and I applaud the author for bringing this level of scholarship and research to such a singular word.
