Palindromes and Anagrams
''Palindromes and Anagrams'' is a 1973 non-fiction book on wordplay by Howard W. Bergerson.
== Content ==
Over a third of the book is devoted to the study and collection of anagrams. Of the 1169 anagrams Bergerson lists, most are sourced to the files of the National Puzzlers' League, and some had been previously printed in Dmitri Borgmann's ''Language on Vacation''.〔
Other sections of the book cover palindromes of various forms, including palindromic poetry by J. A. Lindon, Graham Reynolds, and Bergerson himself.〔 Among these is Bergerson's "Edna Waterfall", a 1039-letter poem which was for some time listed by the ''Guinness Book of World Records'' as the longest palindrome in English.〔〔 Most of Bergerson's other original palindromes are credited not to himself but rather to Edwin Fitzpatrick, a fictitious 19th-century poet.〔 (Bergerson had invented Fitzpatrick some years earlier,〔 though did not openly admit to the hoax until shortly before his book was released. To Bergerson's surprise, his joke had fooled even his publisher.〔)
Besides the titular forms of wordplay, the book devotes chapters to vocabularyclept poetry (a special form of anagrammatic poetry in which the words of a poem are rearranged into a new poem) and written charades.
