Philippa Cameron: Is genrification a swear word?
http://philippacameron.blogspot.com/2016/02/is-genrification-swear-word.html
Tuesday, 23 February 2016. Is genrification a swear word? Another one of my big projects this year. Is to tackle some of the rather ancient books in our non-fiction section.

Whereby the entire non-...
