I look foward to reding this. Writing dictionaries is the polar
opposite of Silicon Valley startups. There is no fame (but there are
heros) certainly no fortune and there is no exit. It is a relentless

Elisabeth Murray's 'Caught In The Web of Words' which is the story of
James Murray and the making of the Oxford English Dictionary.
