I would seriously love to spend a few hours in the Hoare House reading the OED and being surrounded by words and history.

Sir, it would be absolutely wonderful if you can give us a tour of your library.

I hope to have a library like this one day! I see a copy of "speaking for themselves", an almost complete history of the notes between Winston and Clementines Churchill.

This is exactly what I expect a rich man's room to look like, I'm more interested in his book collection.

The OED is an impressive tome...I wonder how the future will see it. I've had a Harvard Unabridged for decades...It's magical to look through it but; The computer has replaced it for general purposes...I'm in my 60's and sadly the world no longer admires feats of intellectual grandeur...Finding people that read, or have read, anything of substance is the sighting of a rare bird. Shakespeare is all but dead. Melville and even Twain are no more discussed than the steam engines of their time... The world must be turned on its head for the great change it silently shrieks for to occur ......Thanks for the video...I learned from it...

So just buy it. It currently costs £862.50 from the Oxford University Press website. That’s less than £44 per book.

Page 108 Within a decade, in 1890s whalers all but destroyed the once-vast walrus herds of the eastern Arctic. Polar bear rugs came into fashion. Every proper Victorian baby had to have his picture taken lying on a polar bear skin. Between 1905 and 1909, Dundee whalers alone killed more than a thousand polar bears off Greenland's east coast. Thousands more were killed in Hudson Bay and Baffin Bay.

American's in the US like to tell me that Webster made the first English dictionary. Just like they insist to me they were the first to go to space... and I am like, "No you moron... the first to go to the moon!" Oh and keep on believing Texas is the biggest state of the US for all I care.

I worked with a guy who swears we did not go to the moon and the earth is flat. He also said that the CERN particle accelerator in Europe is somehow warping reality and changing the words in books that were already printed.
