Dictionaries & Phone Books at the Boston Book Festival 2015




You're the Expert show

Summary: Ammon Shea has read the entire Oxford English Dictionary and the phone book cover-to-cover and written books of his own about each. In this special book festival edition of the show, we cover exotic words, the most expensive phone book in the world, and how to use etymology as a pick up line. Hosted by Chris Duffy. Produced by Julie Smith Clem and Pretty Good Friends.
