: : : "Listening to America" by Stuart Berg Flexner (Simon and Schuster, New York, 1982) or any other book by Mr. Flexner.

How good on phrases is the Flexner book (Listening)? I know it's illustrated, but I'm more interested in the phrases. For instance, does it include a lot of phrases that are not included in the lists on our Phrase Finder website here?

Thank you...

Patty
