Opening gmbit (words, words, words)

Ammon Shea has been reading dictionaries for twenty years. Along the way he has supported this habit by being a street muscian in Paris, a gondolier in San Diego and a furniture mover in New York City. He lives in New York with his girlfriend (a former lexicographer) and a large number of old dictionaries.
