WILD RELEASE NOTES:

At our meetup.

Picked up from last night's meetup.. looked very interesting.

I found this book very interesting and reading it I was completely absorbed in what was going on in the book. I could see Dr. Minor in his cell library working away at writing the definitions and James Murray with the little strips of paper that were sent in.

I must admit I had never really thought much about how a dictionary was put together and it has given me even more of an appreciation for them. Also has made me realise that I need to get a new dictonary too.

Am going to bring it to the meetup this weekend in case anyone else wishes to read it.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Did not think I would like this book at all, but it really ended up gripping me. Hapy Holiday Reading.

Not my usual cup of tea, but very interesting, none-the-less. I would not have read this but for it's being offered through Bookcrossing.
