Review: Jumbo Shrimp & Other Almost Perfect Oxymorons

User Review  - Valerie - Goodreads

I think this is the edition I read. There's something attractive about oxymoron, and this title is one many have used. We can all construct our own lists of oxymorons, and any book of them becomes a jumping-off point. So it is with this book. Read full review
