Title: A work of pure genious
Product review: Absolutely one of the finest books/audio Cds one can pick up! This is a wonderful, elucidating account of the creation of the OED. The author, whose prose has graced the subjects of Krakatoa and `The map that changed the world' now sheds light on the processes by which the OED was created. His enlightening sketches of the many gifted souls who lent their knowledge and intimate knowledge of the English Language is a tale of greatness and heritage. Reading this will make you feel like a flower that has just been watered, enriched by the greatness of the English language and its diversity and many influences. The authors grasp on his subject is overwhelming and many topics are covered. This book should not be missed. The audio version, read by the author, is truly perfect.Seth J. Frantzman
