About the book
"The Real McCoy is a comprehensive dictionary of the many idioms we use in English and, with 700 entries, is the first authoritative reference book on the subject. Quotations illustrating the origin of these idioms range from Aristophanes to Tom Wolfe, from the Lindisfarne Gospels to Mario Puzo, from Davy Crockett to Raymond Chandler." "Illustrated throughout with original drawings by Oliver Pugh, the book provides the browsing reader with something to interest, amuse and delight on every page."--BOOK JACKET.
