Exaltation of Larks, or The Venereal Game by James Lipton

About the Item

An Exaltation of Larks, or The Venereal Game by James Lipton. 10th edition hardcover no dust jacket. Lipton's humorous retrieval of zoological collective nouns, and whimsical invention of new ones. James Lipton would go on to become the famous host of television's "Inside the Actors Studio" (1994) and parody himself hilariously in "Arrested Development." A delightfully unexpected, lovingly curated ode to the unique collective nouns that adorn our language, from “a leap of leopards” to “a murder of crows” and beyond, from the inimitable voice behind Inside the Actors Studio. Sadly, James Lipton, Creator and Host of 'Inside the Actors Studio,' Dies at 93 on 3/02/20.
