The book is available in most English speaking territories, and in the lost former colony of the USA it can still be obtained by ordering it from The Book Depository. It is, if you like, an illuminated manuscript. The Illustrated Etymologicon is therefore both illuminating and illuminated, enlightening and enlightened. In English the word illustration came first, and it meant to teach by means of examples, shedding light upon an abstract subject. Illustrious and illustration both come from the Latin illustratus which meant lit up. It's the same text as the original Etymologicon, but now filled, on each and every page, with delicious illustrations. It is of immense importance to absolutely everyone that The Illustrated Etymologicon is now published, out, in the shops, for sale, and begging to be bought.
