NB, that's Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (ISBN 0304350966). You can also find an archaic version of it online at http://www.bibliomania.com/2/3/255/1169/frameset.html Another useful book is the Oxford Dctionary of Idioms (ISBN 0192801112). Not as good as Brewer's, but considerably cheaper.
