Who was who in the Degree of the 20th Century
The nicknames of Grau de Castelló
Sergio Ferrer of Almenara
This book is designed in the form of a dictionary with a total of 687 nicknames. The first part of the book arranges these nicknames alphabetically by the first and last name of their owner (either the first one who wore it or the one who made it best known), including more than 220 stories about the origin of the nicknames and 180 photographs of those grauers and graueres who will carry it, either as initiators or as descendants.
The second part of the book lists the nicknames in order of the surnames of those who bore them, which allows for a much simpler search. The book is completed by a series of texts about nicknames, where nicknames go and a foreword written by Vicent Domènech about the different types of nicknames that exist according to their origin. The book closes with a list of 19 nicknames whose names and surnames we do not know.
