Summary: Like finding the Holy Grail.
Comment: For a long time indeed, I've been hunting for a dictionary that contains _all_ the most obscure words I stumble upon. Then, at last, I found this. I could hardly believe it. Kudos to Random House for publishing this. But why is it soo hard to find? I spent years browsing through book stores, and I can only remember _one_ book store that had it. Why not make some more of this? The world _needs_ a good dictionary, and Webster's always been my favourite.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent value
Comment: Now, that I own the book, I have to praise it. I am not a native English speaker and this book contains not only all the words you find in any dictionary, but also technical terms; "designer" words such as Muzak, Miranda; plant names (English and Latin); chemical compounds with formula and structure; a little history information: in short - everything that you need, when you work in a laboratory and read a lot of English texts, and everything you need, when you sit at home and read English/American novels. I wish there was an equivalent of this in German (sometimes the Webster information exceeds my 20 volume german encyclopedia with respect to technical, geographical, historical data). If you don't have it yet and you are not a native speaker and you like to or have to read English texts a lot - then go and get it.

Summary: Buy it..
Comment: I love words, their sound, their meaning, their origins, their use.
