London Alert: Today is Publication Day for the 2nd Edition of Anglotopia’s Dictionary of British English

May 24, 2017 By Jonathan

We’re slightly behind schedule but I’m happy to report that the 2nd Edition of Anglotopia’s Dictionary of British English is now officially published and available from most major book retailers in Print and eBook.

The new edition of the book features over 2,000 words of British English defined along with several sub-dictionaries and guides to British Culture (see full table of contents below).

This book has been in the works for quite some time and is a huge improvement over the previous edition (which you can no longer buy). The new paperback is available from today and is shipping today (we’ll be spending this afternoon shipping out all the paperback pre-orders). The Special Hardcover is slightly delayed but we expect to ship in the next couple of weeks.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed words to the new dictionary as well as corrected us where we were wrong. Also a shout out to Laurence Brown (a certified Real British Person) from Lost in the Pond who copy edited the book and confirmed the definitions.

Print Edition Buying Options

Direct from Us (we make the most money this way):

  • Special Limited Edition Signed Hardcover – Only a Few Left!
  • Paperback Edition

Major Retailers:

  • Amazon.com
  • Barnes and Noble
  • Amazon.co.uk

Also, check with Amazon in your country, as it should be available there as well.

Marketing Info

If you like the book PLEASE leave a review on Amazon. This helps us sell more copies and rank better when people search for British slang on Amazon. The reviews from the first edition have been wiped out, so we’re starting from scratch.

Attention bloggers and social media influencers! If you would like to review the book, please get in touch and we will arrange to send you a copy. Please send us detailed information about your audience. Contact us here.
