I'm viewing the page but don't see the photo. Could you email it to me if possible, and I would very much appreciate knowing its source -- eager to find out as much detail as I can...the more mundane, the better even.

Elisabeth Murray, I wonder how she is related to James Murray, and if it is more of a biographical sketch. And your mother, she came to U of T for her grad or undergraduate work? Anyway, thanks for stopping by for a bit. I've been a lurker on your library blog for a while. That other book is written by K.M.

I just found your blog thanks to Blog day and Life as I Know It, which I found thanks to someone else. . . which in turn reminds me of another book about the OED, <a>Caught in the Web of Words</a>. I haven't read it, but my mother says it's good. Actually, you can still contribute to the OED, though they don’t let you see the whole thing for free.
