Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Jun 24, 2008 Type: User Review Amazing

This monstrosity of a dictionary weighs 3 lbs but for a good reason. It's the most comprehensive book I've ever seen, I haven't to date come across a word that hasn't been in it and the definitions are very articulate. The book even includes...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: May 30, 2007 Type: User Review The Big Lie

I was very disappointed with this order. I paid the extra money for the book to insure I got the CD ROM for my daughter but did not receive it. I will never order from amazon again.

I thought this dictionary was decent and served most of its purposes. The problem with purchasing it over the Internet, though, was that I didn't know if it had all of the features I needed.

Therefore, while it is good and has a...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Jun 24, 2008 Type: User Review Great little dictionary

I wanted a dictionary that would be a great size to have by my side while I read books, in case I need to look up a word. This dictionary fits the bill perfectly. About the size of a mass market paperback, this dictionary is easy to hold and look...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: May 27, 2007 Type: User Review Just Adequate Dictionary

The type is too small, the quality of the print poor and the pages and cover are neither well nor consistently centered. I prefer a dictionary that provides at least a brief etymology, which helps me remember the definition of a word that is new...

I sppreciated the edition of Merriam's I had in high school, which was worn with use, but as a 28 year-old law student I find the selection of words narrow and depressing. There's what I consider to be an irritating amount of slang in the volume...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Feb 08, 2008 Type: User Review Tell me something I DON'T know

Were these "common errors" used in the English Language directed to
6th graders? I can't imagine anyone over the age of 17 needing these
explanations and examples. They are simple to the point of being insulting.

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Mar 06, 2008 Type: User Review For Spanish Language Dictionary

Great little pocket dictionary for those who don't want to carry around a heavier full-sized eng/span diction. It's not 'quite' as complete, but it's about 99% there. It's going to have all of the important words

The pocket size is nice, however that's about the only thing I liked about this dictionary. I can't believe how often I can't find the words I look up. Also, if you hold the Spanish-English pages with your fingers, it is half as thick as the...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: May 17, 2008 Type: User Review Great Dictionary

It's a great reference book/dictionary but didn't realized it was too big. Anyway, it's for my husband's office so no big deal, I might get a smaller one for my son in school if I they have it online.

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Jul 18, 2008 Type: User Review Too few entries.

I simply come across far too many words that are just not in this dictionary. Also, a significant problem with the Kindle edition: if a word has more than one entry, only the first entry is shown or accessible. Very disappointing.

This dictionary is a Pop dictionary, and is not really appropriate for scholarly reference or for people looking for more detailed information. It's fine for general definitions and etymology, but really poor for proper names.

The book is not worth it's price. The words seem to be in some type of unique order, so in order to find a word one must search over about 10 pages. Does not list many of the words I have tried looking up. I purchased N. Awde & K. Smith's...
