| More than a quarter of a century ago, Leo Rosten published the first comprehensive and hilariously entertaining lexicon of the colorful and deeply expressive language of Yiddish. The Joys of Yiddish went on to become an indispensable tool for writers, journalists, politicians, and students, as well as a perennial bestseller for three decades. Fully revised by editor Lawrence Bush, this new edition brings Rosten's masterful work up to date. Featuring more than fifty wonderful illustrations by famed cartoonist and illustrator R. O. Blechman, and an invaluable English-to-Yiddish index, the paperback of this classic book is now available only from Three Rivers Press. Praise for the original The Joys of Yiddish: |

Reprint. 25,000 first printing. |
