I bought this book for my best friend in Florida, who used to tease me relentlessly. Of course my whole family had to read it first. We all laughed so hard, we cried! I almost kept it for myself! Cheers to Mark Patankin for celebrating Rhode Islanders with this awesome book!

I had this book sent from home when my new friends in ohio said I had a accent, I never thought I did. I showed them the book that I never thought was comleptly true, they laughed and relized it wasn't just my speaking funny or making up stuff. I can't help it if they don't know what qauhogs, cherrystones, or steamers are. This book is fun to read as a rhode island resident but even better when you move out of state.
This book certainly leaves the readers laughing.

My family and I have recently moved to western PA. What a culture shock to learn that I have an ACCENT! Your book tells the story of that accent better than I can explain it, so we are buying it by the gross and handing it out as a translation tool to all our new neighbors. It has gone over really well. It turns even the most "slow" PA parties into a laughing riot. Thanks so much for putting the humor in our "RI vernacular"
A MUST READ for anyone interested in any facet of R.I.

This book (Rhode Island Dictionary) was the best gift I could ever think of giving to an uprooted Rhode Islander. It brings back ALL the quirks and lovely colloquialisms for which R.I. is famous. It brings Rhode Island to California or Florida!
