Publisher's Note
Espy's (d. 1999) first edition of this massive volume was published in 1986. The present volume includes a new foreword on Espy by Louis Phillips (he wrote and edited The Random House treasury of humorous quotations , among others) and a new section on slant (indirect) rhyme and expanded forms of rhyme. The remainder is Espy's classic rhyming dictionary, with a lengthy introduction to every type of rhyme preceding the catalog of 80,000 rhyming words divided into single, double, and triple rhymes and over 200 examples of Espy's light verse.
