Cloth. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good./fine. First Edition.

But there is also a rich vein of domestic catch-phrase that is common to many families, and it is both these types of family sayings that Nigel Rees celebrates in As We Say In Our House. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, but especially on family sayings contributed to his BBC Radio programme Quote.Unquote, Nigel Rees provides a shamelessly nostalgic and warmly humorous recod of an area of language that would otherwise go largely unrecorded.
