Green, himself a dictionary-maker, charts the history of his craft from pre-Babylonian Sumeria to the present day. A fat book, packed with interest for anyone fascinated with the process by which language is captured. (Kirkus UK) 1996. Jonathan Cape Ltd ISBN 0224040103 9780224040105 [GB]

ISBN10: 0224040103, ISBN13: 9780224040105, [publisher: London: Jonathan Cape] Hardcover First Edition Green, Jonathon. Chasing the sun : dictionary-makers and the dictionaries they made. First edition. London: Jonathan Cape, 1996. Hardback, VG, in unclipped dustjacket with minor shelfwear to edges and bumping to corners; crease along top edge of reverse. Black cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong. Spine cocked forward a little. Blue endpapers. 421pp., central section of b/w plates. Edges of the page block lightly tanned. Contents clean and bright. Samuel Johnson believed that the lexicographer was no more than a harmless drudge. This book reveals that the reverse is true, as the creator of the dictionary becomes more of a deity because of his involvement with words. This is the story of the lexicographer and his obsession with language. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.

SIGNED, DATED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLACK PEN, ON HALF TITLE PAGE 'Darling you were Wonderful (Is That all right?!) Jonathon 7/3/96' (Shame we don't know who 'Darling' is). Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, spine slightly faded, some yellowing to page block. Not price clipped (£25.00), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 423pp, illustrated. CHASING THE SUN is an immensely readable and fascinating history of the dictionary, of the urge to set knowledge, in the case, words in order. Jonathan Green traces the story from the first lexicon created in 2340 BC in Sumeria to the pinnacle of the OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY and today's computer generated successors of that great masterwork. Throughout he tells the story through the lives of the lexicographers themselves, a diverse and fascinating collection of men obsessed with words and language, men who with extraordinary frequency assume a godlike role. Please note, the jacket design is different from the stock photo. Scarce signed. [Lilley nr Luton, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 1996]
