Caught in the Web of Words by Kmelisabeth Murray

This biography of the first editor of the "Oxford English Dictionary" is based on original documents. It is an account of how the dictionary was compiled, the problems the editor had to solve and the endless difficulties which nearly led to the whole project being abandoned.
