(My parents still tell the story of how, when I was younger, I woke them up in the middle of the night saying, ‘someone’s saying my name!’. It turned out to be the grinding noise of the refrigerator, sounding like: ‘Braaaaaaaaad… Braaaaaaaaaaaaaad… Braaaaaaaaaaaaaad…’.)

Jan Morris (ed.), The Oxford Book of Oxford (Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1979)
Doesn't get more Oxford than that, I guess.
The Oxford Book of Oxford, written by and for Oxonians exclusively in the City of Oxford, and even printed exclusively there too, with every word guaranteed 100% Oxonian?
