Third-party references

The following third-party sources could be used as references to the article. I will get around to this eventually if someone else doesn't.

Willard R. Espy, in one or more of his Almanac of Words at Play series, devotes an entry to Word Ways. IIRC this predated any of his own contributions to the journal.

There is much more than this, both from entirely uninvolved third parties and from independently published books of contributors including Eckler, Espy, Lederer, and Gardner. I'll do some further searching when time permits. —Psychonaut (talk) 17:49, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
