If anyone is having difficulty finding it, it may also be available for sale under the original U.K. title, "The Surgeon of Crowthorne."

That should be enough links to The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Thanks for the links Jon. This I think will be the most expensive ebook I have ever bought. (not complaining).

I promise it is worth it

Unfortunately, there is no version available from Sony. So the best bet is to get it in MS Reader or Mobipocket, strip the DRM and use Calibre to convert to LRF.

Yes, thanks for the links. Fascinating that Diesel eBooks charges slightly different prices depending on the format. Those damn specialized electrons.

Just found it available from one of the public libraries I have a access to.

um.. that site looks awfully familiar. Oh right. I liked to it earlier on in this thread.

JSWolf · 03-04-2009, 08:54 PM

I was able to borrow this month's eBook from the library. I am already up to chapter 3. It's a good read so far. I rather enjoyed Chapter 2.

JSWolf · 03-06-2009, 10:24 AM

Has anyone besides myself actually started reading this month's Book Club eBook?

ShortNCuddlyAm · 03-06-2009, 05:39 PM

Erm, I haven't yet - mostly because I keep forgetting to buy it...

pilotbob · 03-06-2009, 05:42 PM

Not yet started, but I will. I am going to read UR first... then this.

I should have it done before the discussion thread opens up.

Eight times reading A Passage to India? I barely made it past one read.
