An Historical Dictionary of German Figurative Usage (New ed)

Professor Spalding's Historical Dictionary of German Figurative Usage has been appearing in separate fascicles for several years.

Many reference collections who were wise enough to subscribe to this work at its inception have built up a unique reference source.

Blackwell Publishers are now offering the opportunity to subscribe to a limited edition reprint which will make the five completed volumes available to any libraries who wish to subscribe to the remaining fascicles to be produced.Many of the libraries that have been adding this essential reference work to their collections over the years have found it an extremely distinguished source of information about the figurative use of German, and as the various volumes have appeared reviewers have commented favorably on the continuing development of this important resource.
