Free Download William Safire, "Quoth the Maven"

There are connoisseurs. There are virtuosos. And then there are mavens. Pulitzer Prize-winning writer William Safire is the maven’s maven. In this new collection from his New York Times Magazine column, "On Language," Safire – using alliteration, puns, and other tricks of the writer’s trade – offers a cornucopia of words, phrases, slang, and grammatical oddities, proving once again why Time calls him "the country’s best practitioner of the art of columny."
