Schottenfreude is a unique, must-have dictionary, complete with newly coined words that explore the idiosyncrasies of life as only the German language can.

Ever thought, There should be a German word for that? Well, thanks to the brilliantly original mind behind Schott's Original Miscellany, now there is. In what other language but German could you construct le mot juste for a secret love of bad foods, the inability to remember jokes, Sunday-afternoon depression, the urge to yawn, the glee of gossip, reassuring your hairdresser, delight at the changing of the seasons, the urge to hoard, or the ineffable pleasure of a cold pillow? A beguiling, ideal gift book for the Gelehrte or anyone on your list--just beware of rapidly expanding (and potentially incomprehensible) vocabularies.

Great buy
Our dog is so happy about this. He loves chasing a ball. We also love the fact that it is collapsible and only 12 inches. We travel a lot so it’s perfect for that. I’m enclosing a movie. I did about it for Amazon.

Very disappointed
Unfortunately I ended up being very disappointed with this purchase, after about two weeks of use, it just stopped performing. Not sure what happened but it just stopped releasing the ball and I don't know why, it had no flexibility left to it. I'm not doing a very good job of trying to explain why it quit working but suffice it to say, it became useless after a couple of weeks. Broke my neighbors dog's heart, lol.

SHORT-game Ball Launcher … love it!
Yes, this is a smaller ball launcher … It is for her SHORT Game! Love it AND the squeaky baseball that came with it is A-HIT!! Our black golden doodle, Josie, carried that around for hours … batting it around, jumping on it, resting with it right-next-to-her. For your pup’s LONG game, purchase the longer launcher. GAME-on!

Works great with tennis balls
I have a pretty large yard, and this thrower is great for my little Jack Russel puppy. It even picks up ball without having to touch all the spit.
