A Riverman's Lexicon

in Lehman's terms

Plot

A Riverman's Lexicon brings together thousands of definitions, anecdotes, poetry, and author’s opinion in a book that is not just a “dictionary of terms” but is filled with good reading. The 10- by 7-inch, 2.7-pound hardback is clothed in deep blue, with gold foil lettering. The format resembles that of a Webster’s dictionary… terms in bold followed by definitions, all appearing in two columns per page. At the end of each alphabetical section are sketches and pictures to illustrate some terms found in the section. And it is in type large enough to make reading easy.
