Excerpt from A Thousand and One Notes on "a New English Dictionary" These notes on the great Dictionary which will always be associated with the names of Sir James Murray and Oxford University deal with (1) words not given, (2) senses not given, (3) earlier and later examples, (4) errors (very few) and points of more general interest. Perhaps a fifth part has appeared in the Times Literary Supplement. The ms. Here printed with a few additions was refused by three eminent publishers, and rejected without inspection by the English Association. Whether it adds something to our knowledge of the English language, the reader must judge. Many years ago I had tried direct approach to the Dictionary, without any apparent result. Again last autumn these notes, nearly completed, were submitted to the authorities, who offered (1) a pigeon-hole, (2) a possible epitomizer, (3) a clear disclaimer of any obligation ever to do anything with them. My objects in printing are first to submit my collections to criticism, and secondly to encourage others to the use of a noble work To praise the New English Dictionary would be superfluous. To study it and where possible to supplement it would be a new pleasure to many, as it has been to me and if my Notes have any such result, in Fuller's words my care and cost is forgotten and shall never come under computation.

The legendary Oxford English Dictionary today contains over 600,000 words and a staggering 2,500,000 quotations to illuminate the meaning and history of those words. A glorious, bursting treasure-house, the OED serves as a guardian of the literary jewels of the past, a testament to the richness of the English language today, and a guarantor of future understanding of the language. In this book, Charlotte Brewer begins her account of the OED at the point where others have stopped--the publication of the final installment of the first edition in 1928--and carries it through to the metamorphosis of the dictionary into a twenty-first-century electronic medium. Brewer describes the difficulties of keeping the OED up to date over time and recounts the recurring debates over finances, treatment of contentious words, public vs. scholarly expectations, proper sources of quotations, and changing editorial practices. With humor and empathy, she portrays the predilections and personalities of the editors, publishers, and assistants who undertook the Sisyphean task of keeping apace with the modern explosion of vocabulary. Utilizing rich archives in Oxford as well as new electronic resources, the author uncovers a history no less complex and fascinating than the Oxford English Dictionary itself.

Ammon Shea was ten when he first discovered the joy of reading a dictionary rather than using it to look a word up. Little did he imagine that one day he would spend over $1,000 and sacrifice an entire bookcase and a whole year to the twenty volumes that make up the king of all reference books: The Oxford English Dictionary. It was a year that changed his life, not least when he fell in love with a lexicographer. In this hilarious, personal and fascinating book, with a chapter for each letter of the alphabet, Shea introduces us to hundreds of words he discovered that deserve to see the light of day again, and explains why. Want to know the word for the area on your back that you can't reach to scratch (acnestis)? Or the term for the smell of earth just after a rainstorm (petrichor)? Or perhaps you're just looking for the word to describe that feeling of saying enough (satisdiction). This book is all you need.
