Chasing the Sun: Dictionary Makers and the Dictionaries They Made by Jonathan Green is an immensely readable and fascinating history of the dictionary. The author traces the story from the first lexicon created in 2340 BC in Sumeria to the pinnacle of the Oxford English Dictionary and today's computer-generated successors of that great masterwork. Illustrated.
