My Memories: A Half-Century of Adventures and Experiences and Globe Travel (1920)

The Index is an alphabetical dictionary for crossword buffs and connoisseurs of unusual and fascinating words. It is the one-stop reference to find the names of famous people, the currency of Montenegro and the adjective for morning. Packed with an unprecedented collection of collective nouns and related words, The Index also includes slang, acronyms, seminal dates, geographical data, patron saints, favourite quotations, benchmark rock groups and TV shows (and cast lists) and some rather quirky factoids. It is the perfect balance between a thesaurus and an endlessly diverting browse. And for those with an inquisitive bent, it is hopelessly addictive.
