How often do members of a very obscure profession get to read about their work from an insider’s perspective and find themselves exclaiming, “Yes!”? Not often. The profession under scrutiny here is lexicography, and the circle of practitioners in this country is now measured in the dozens and declining inexorably. I joined the fraternity in 1975 as an editor for the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE). Sidney Landau’s excellent book, Dictionaries: The Art and Craft of Lexicography, appeared not too long after. Reviewing the second edition for this journal in 2003, I wrote:
