The book explores the contrast between the English language's vast richness and the limitations of modern desk dictionaries, which prioritize standard and functional words. It highlights the loss of countless delightful and unique words that are overlooked in everyday use, emphasizing the beauty and diversity of the language that often goes unappreciated.
