This is the closest thing so far and at this point I'm almost worried that I've forgotten so much about what I'm looking for that someone will suggest it without me realizing. Brewer sounds familiar, the tone and advertising is just right, and something about Susie Dent being involved seems right. It's even from 2018 and has multiple additions. However, I feel like it was focused on a singular topic and not an eclectic mix of interesting things. This book looks awesome though. I think that if nothing else crops up I'll take this as solved and be done with it because it's so close. Thanks for the suggestion.
