It has been printed on paper four times, in the shape of the book "Språkets Kryddor". This book is now really sold out, and it won't be printed again.

Please contribute to the collection, there are lots of things that can be done. Maybe you'll find some spelling errorrs or facts that are just plain wrong. Maybe you know something that's not in the collection - have you got any quotations or proverbs to share? Write your comments in the textbox to the left!
