A satirical, humorous and poetic dictionary by Rodrigo Cortés, with more than two thousand entries and seven years of work behind it. Rather than explaining words the way an ordinary dictionary does, each definition looks for the hidden meaning the author sees in them.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
