Summary: eating crow isn't too bad with a dab of mustard
Comment: okay, i am capricious. I lavished praise on the scribner bantam dictionary, which is still a good value, but the concise oxford is wonderful. I love everything about it. I think i shall read it straight through.

Summary: The other most important book I own
Comment: Next to the Rodale Synonym Finder, I simply couldn't write without this dictionary. It offers both British and American spellings, and it's very complete in its offerings. Ninety-five percent of the time, I will find what I'm seeking, no matter how arcane. The big plus is its offering of quirky British words not found in North American dictionaries (although, I confess, I do have a supply of those for occasions when the word I'm seeking is just too American ever to find its way into the Concise Oxford English.) An essential tool for anyone writing, whether it be a letter, a student essay, or professional pieces. The best!

Summary: For the Writer, Reader, or Poet: A Holy Book !
Comment: Long have I lusted after the 20 volume set of the OED..unrequited lust, mad longings, gnashing of teeth and chewing of nails, checking my finances daily and always finding them lacking...finally I realized I'd have to marry into money, or win the lottery before I could attain to the object of my desires, so I decided to content myself with this book. And I am WELL contented ! This book deserves to be treated with the utmost respect...build a casket to contain it, line it with the finest silk, put a lock on it, chain it to the wall, and wash your hands before reading! It's a treasure, plain and simple..and cheap enough that you can afford to buy two, and let your dirty-fingered friends peruse the "public copy" that you maintain especially for them! BUY IT!! There IS no alternative!!
