This interesting volume is essentially a catalog of the names of the parts of items people see everyday, with chapters covering "Living Things," "Personal Items," "Arts and Crafts," and everything in between. If you want to know the names of all the parts of a shoe, an ocean liner, or a bagpipe, then this title will provide the answers. Since its 1981 debut, this unique reference work has sold more than a million copies, so this expanded edition should be equally popular.
