Luxagraf's review of The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary
The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary by Simon Winchester
Absolutely fascinating history of the making of the Oxford English Dictionary, which quite frankly boggles my mind whenever I stop and consider what a massive undertaking it was. Winchester does a great job of making the story come alive and setting straight some facts that have been twisted over the years.
