Blake Paperback: ISBN: 9780199691623 Pages: 288 Price: U.K. £ 8.99 Comment: US$16.95 Abstract: Please Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced text This book is about language designed to mean what it does not seem to mean. Codes protect secrets. Symbol and magic hide meanings to imperil or delight. Languages made to confuse let insiders talk openly without being understood by others. Barry Blake looks in depth at these and many more and illuminates the most arcane and curious uses of language.
