Currently $1.99 at Amazon:
The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester Main Note: does not appear for sale at Amazon UK; does not look at though a UK kindle version is even available. The Professor and the Madman, masterfully researched and eloquently written, is an extraordinary tale of madness, genius, and the incredible obsessions of two remarkable men that led to the making of the Oxford English Dictionary -- and literary history. The compilation of the OED, begun in 1857, was one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. As definitions were collected, the overseeing committee, led by Professor James Murray, discovered that one man, Dr. W. C. Minor, had submitted more than ten thousand. When the committee insisted on honoring him, a shocking truth came to light: Dr. Minor, an American Civil War veteran, was also an inmate at an asylum for the criminally insane. I've been wanting to read this one for years and was surprised to see it at this price. |

Thank you for this thread and the books mentioned in it.
The two books by Simon Winchester both have (P.S.) at the end of their titles on Amazon. I can't find anything on Amazon's site which explains the significance of this. Can someone please explain? Presumably it's not just a postscript to the original book. |

American Rose, Karen Abbott's biography of Gypsy Rose Lee, is $0.99 at Amazon US: link. I read this one in hardcopy a few years back; it's pretty solid.
