The Oxford Dictionary of English Idioms offers a fresh look at the idiomatic phrases and sayings that make English the rich language that it is. The third edition contains entries for over 6,000 idioms, including 700 entirely new entries, based on Oxford's language monitoring programs and the third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Many entries include more detailed background on the idiom in question.

The book lists national variants, so we learn that while in America they say "all over the map," in Britain they say "all over the shop."
