Of course, I would never say I wrote the book on Film Art. If sufficiently provoked, I might say "I co-wrote the book on Film Art" (along with my husband, David Bordwell). We also co-wrote the book on Film History, so we've got all bases covered! Have you read Peter Gilliver et al., The Ring of Words: Tolkien and The Oxford English Dictionary? It might sound deadly dull, but it's actually a charming and readable (and short) book on Tolkien's work on the Dictionary. Also on its influence on some of his word choices in his fictional writing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Makes you want to go and read his entry on "walrus"!
