More Than Words: Illustrated Letters From The Smithsonian's Archive of American Art by Liza Kirwin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Overall I enjoyed it though I do wish the book were physically larger. Often the letters are reduced in size making them hard to read. There are transcripts in the back (often the whole letters aren't pictured) but they are in an even smaller, all caps, light blue font. I like the blue but I see why black on white is the standard.

New (to me) Word
In describing the efforts of the construction crew, my Dad said they were, "fiddledicking around."
Not really a portmanteau. A compound word, I reckon, made from "fiddling" and "dicking."
Somehow it's more offensive than either word on its own while also more hilarious.
