James Glassman has just released a new book filled with
definitions of words used almost exclusively in Houston, named “The Houstorian Dictionary”.
I love James Glassman’s book and encourage you to read it. Glassman
is the founder of Houstorian,
an education and advocacy group "committed to telling the story of
Houston, preserving its cultural and architectural history, and supporting the
landmarks that make Houston fun and unique.” The concept for the book began as
an idea for Twitter. Glassman planned a series in which every day he tweeted a
new definition for a Houston only used word. He planned to have 365 words, one
for each day, in which posting of each word would repeat itself every year. The
concept eventually grew into a book.
I encourage you to read this new book; it’s one of my
favorites out of the many books that have come from Houston.
I must find this book!
