The Story of Webster's Third: Philip Gove's Controversial Dictionary and Its Critics Paperback - 1995
by Herbert C. Morton
From the rear cover
The publication of Webster's Third International Dictionary in 1961 set off a storm of controversy that was virtually unprecedented in its scope and intensity. Herbert Morton tells the story from the beginning, drawing on new sources. He describes how the third edition was planned and put together by Gove, where it went astray, and how it was misunderstood and misinterpreted by its detractors.
