Did you know that a horse apple is actually a type of orange? Or that a whiffletree is not a tree at all? You will, after you pore through this delightful dictionary of old-fashioned words that are quickly slipping from America’s vocabulary. With over 100 illustrations, and steeped in nostalgia, it makes for a fun trip down memory lane. Wander into America’s past and play a game of Rolley Holley, buy a Tin Lizzy, and make friends with some doughboys. And if you want to know where to put a snaffle or when to perform the Green Corn Stomp Dance, the answers are here. With its convenient format, this guide is great for anyone curious about what things were really like back in the day.”

As the lover of arcane, antique, and under-used words, I was delighted to sink into this book's covers. This book is a delightful introduction to the arcane through the drawings and the excellent descriptions.
Not everyone is excited about the English language's items left behind. A practical use for this book is for anyone writing about olden times. Writers are always looking for ways to add a sense of reality to their novels. This book specializes in antique car companies, farm implements, children's games, kitchen tools, measurements, and the oils and lamps used before electricity.
If you are wondering what a goober is, it is a colloquial term for a peanut. Other words from this book for a peanut are pindar, groundnut, and ground pea. Whiffletree is a bit harder to explain, but generally, it is a term related to horses. A whiffletree is a mechanism to distribute force evenly through linkages. It is an equalizer, leader bar, or double tree. Fortunately, many terms have a drawing that helps explain the word. The whiffletree is used with multiple horses to balance the pulling between the animals. Some horses may be more robust, allowing the farmer to balance the load.
Because of my age (I'm 70+), I was familiar with many of the words. However, this was a trip down memory lane. I remember a friend's father's business, repairing shoes, and watching her father at his shoe last (a foot-shaped piece of iron mounted upside down on a pedestal. The repairman used his shoe last to renail the sole to the shoe. This book is pure nostalgia. But authors could use this to add an air of reality to their descriptions of items used long ago.

Was like reading a dictionary!

Sufferers and Goobers by W.R. Runyan has the words in alphabetical order and just lists them with the definition. A few drawings or photos scattered throughout. Most of the words are commonly known I would think. There were a few I didn't know. Pretty boring read. Would have been more exciting to tell more about each word of possible such as how it came about, pictures, etc.
