The Seven Deadly Dictionaries

The real dictionary? Yawn. Too long. Don't bother tirelessly working through all those boring pages. The important stuff is rolled up right in a new collection perfect for the nightstand. The Seven Deadly Sins have been evenly sliced into 7 books -- each overflowing with definitions and quotes related to its respective sin (e.g. Sloth, Pride, Envy). No one vice is too greedy, as each volume prides itself on having more than 500 entries. And each perfectly-giftable hardbound edition can stand on it's own, if you're not into collecting. My favorite? Probably sloth (because 'lazy' is my new middle name.) Barnes & Noble has them on pre-order for $8.67 (20% off the cover price) so make it snappy to get the discount :)

LUST: Once just isn’t enough. You’ll want to ogle these entries multiple times, all night long. Nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, whatever your particular pleasure–or pleasures–you’ll find ‘em inside.

GREED: Surprisingly, it didn’t claim every word in the OED (although if it could, it would). This pocket-sized dictionary swipes only the most worthy of syllables, as well as your attention.

ENVY: Everyone else will be turning green when you reveal your desirable new vocabulary. From A to Z, each entry feeds the monster and makes it want that much more.

PRIDE: No one enjoys lording over the uneducated with a pretty pointed vocabulary like the Prideful. Now each and every word you need to describe how much better you are is right at your fingertips.

SLOTH: The real dictionary? Yawn. Too long. Don’t bother tirelessly working through all those boring pages. The important stuff is rolled up right here in a collection perfect for the nightstand.

WRATH: Anger will never cause a loss of words again–as long as you keep this reference clutched in your fists during your next fit. Speech will be your weapon as you launch a verbal assault on anyone who’s wronged you.

GLUTTONY: You can devour word after word after word until you’ve had your fill. And then you can have some more. This bite-size book serves up a hefty sampling of juicy words. It’s a wonderful treat for the Gluttonous.
