Summary: The best concise dictionary ever in my life.
Comment: I already have the AHD 3rd edition(paper back) and is my first dictionary made in the U.S.A. The best thing of the AHD is that it satisfies what we want from dictionaries in everyday uses. The definitions are clear, simple, and precise. Besides, identification of word origins is the most useful feature to give in-depth understanding on each word. I couldn't resist buying the new AHD 4th edition. One more thing. The color combination of the cover page is surely more attractive than that of the 3rd edition. I think I'm going to treasure this dictionary. :)

Summary: The best paperback dictionary yet.
Comment: This dictionary is one of the most informative dictionaries of the English tongue (both in Britain and America) I have come across so far. Other dictionaries such as Britain's Chambers dictionary offer merely the definitions. The American Heritage Dictionary, however, offers the words' definitions, etymologies, and various pronunciations and spellings. In addition, this dictionary is also encyclopedic, succinctly explaining about certain people, places, events, et cetera. Moreover, many of these encyclopedic explanations are accompanied by small photographs. I do question, however, the title "The American Heritage Dictionary". Many of the words in this dictionary are also spoken in other countries such as Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Ireland. Indeed, there are Americanisms included in this dictionary. But one may also find these Americanisms in British dictionaries such as Chambers. Nevertheless, as a whole the American Heritage dictionary will be beneficial to English speakers of all nationalities.
