Treasure-house of the language : the living OED

The legendary "Oxford English Dictionary" (OED) contains over 600,000 words and a staggering 2,500,000 quotations to illuminate the meaning and history of those words. This book provides an account of the "OED", from the publication of the first edition in 1928, through to the metamorphosis of the dictionary into a 21st-century electronic medium.
