The Dictionary Wars: The American Fight Over the English Language by Peter Martin

4.0

This is an INCREDIBLY dense book. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, but it takes some mental investment. Perhaps even a little too much density for the subject. If you're really interested in how and why dictionaries were/are made, or why we all have "Webster's" dictionaries, read this book. Personally, I loved it. But I would also make "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" required yearly reading for every English-speaking person in the world, so I may not be representative of your personal tastes.
