Story4.5 out of 5 stars 424
While most of us might take dictionaries for granted, the process of writing them is in fact as lively and dynamic as language itself. With sharp wit and irreverence, Kory Stamper cracks open the complex, obsessive world of lexicography - from the agonizing decisions about what and how to define to the knotty questions of usage in an ever-changing language.

Simply Wonderful

A skillfully relayed tale of one of the most under appreciated texts in American history. Kory Stamper is a wonderful orator and the story itself is informative and engaging. Highly recommend. Made me want to become a lexicographer!
