Non-Fiction

Not many people can afford the five figure sum (or the floor space) for the complete oxford dictionary, or even the yearly subscription, so some other version is going to be quite popular.

This is a common edition for the world's most influential dictionary.

Good enough

This dictionary is complete and good enough for what I want. I am totally satisfied!

Not exactly what I'd hoped for...

I am an English major and getting ready to go into a Master's degree. I had done extensive research on concise OED's and thought this one sounded the best. I was really hoping to get more backround info on words and more complete definitions. Perhaps there are too many words and just not enough pages! I am still happy to have it and have used it, but it is better for Boggle than anything so far!
