About this product

Product Information

Bostonians, like Texans, Georgians and the British, have their own version of the English language. This is its Rosetta Stone. Translated by the canny John Powers and illustrated by the uncanny Peter Wallace, here is the book you need. Natives can brush up on their dialect, if its been eroded by exposure to too many radio and TV announcers from out of town. Travelers and newcomers to the Hub of the Universe can learn how to communicate with the indigenous folk. Passersby really have only two choices: buy this book, or spend a lot of time saying "What?"

    Hours of Laughter

    Love, love this book, giving me hours of laughter. If you are having a bad day, this book will cheer you up. You do not have to be from Boston to appreciate this book, it will just take a little longer to understand it, but that is the fun.

    Great Humor

    This is a well written and histerical book about the " Bostonian language". I grew up with my family being from Boston, and this is done so well. It's like having my mom around again. Just loved it!!
