best book ever written


On 25 November 1998 Les Stewart from Mudjimba (Australia) after 16 years at the typewriter reached his goal of typing all numbers from one to one million - in words (not numbers) on his manual machine.

nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine.one million.
