Fifty thousand who left a mark.(Literature)
WITH A RELATIVELY low-key ceremony on September 23, Oxford University Press launched The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (the ODNB), the greatest feat in the history of publishing. Edited by Professor Colin Matthew until his sudden death in 1999, and then by Professor Brian Harrison, it boasts 10,000 contributors.

And all for just 7500 [pounds sterling].
