Wellington, New Zealand (NZ Herald): Toujours Tingo is the second work of linguistic serendipity by Adam Jacot de Boinod, who cut his teeth as a seeker of obscure knowledge as a researcher on Stephen Fry's highbrow BBC2 quiz show QI. His first book, The Meaning of Tingo, which derives its title from a word in the Pacuense language of Easter Island conveying the practice of borrowing objects one at a time from a neighbour until nothing is left, sold 50,000 hardback copies in Britain when it was published in 2005.
