Everything about the elements of the English vocabulary before about 1990
It is the completely glorious, spectacular compendium of the beautiful, regular and irregular, rational and irrational, multicultural history of the English, with its justifiably famous illuminating examples of usage, before approx 1990 (published in 1991). Words of wisdom from John McWhorter fly through my thoughts as I peruse at random (the most fun way to use it, IMHO) - what a fun way to while away an hour or two!
Back in the day I was myopic to such a degree I could read it without magnification (yes, it's true!) Alas, no longer.
