The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary

I found this very interesting - esp given its educational value about how the OED is created. The reader is even invited to participate in that creation. I only give it a 3 star rating b/c the writing seems like the kindof hack job that wd be done by a professional writer who'd be hired to write the bk by a publishing company b/c they think the subject's a winner. It's proficiently written w/o any inspiration or personality.
