图书描述

INTRODUCTION

Johnson is engaged in the impersonal task of compiling a dic-

books. Nicolas Slonimsky arrived in the 1940s to produce a Supple-

he published a completely revised fifth edition in 1958, a sixth in

1978, a seventh in 1984, and an eighth in 1991. Ever larger than its

predecessors, the last has 2115 pages with double columns; containing

approximately two million words, it weighs eight pounds. As a one-

volume compendium, it has no competitors and probably never will.
