Summary: does this really need a review?
Comment: somethings are just great and need no reviews. This is one of them. If you read, you need this.
Rating: 5
Summary: Good Practical Dictionary
Comment: This Dictioanry is a real bargain for the price you pay. Pretty much all the words, esoteric or otherwise that you come across in the course of your reading is covered by this very useful tome. The newer edition with the CD-ROM functionality should be the real clincher. Of course comparison the the unabridged OED is unfair for this book, but that would be something else to look at if you have a lot of cash to spare :)
The only problem I have with it is rather minor; External looks if you will; The red cloth bound binding is jarring on the eye; The edges of the book are splashed with fine red droplets of ink (perhaps interntionally?) - But that's a minor hiccup for a book that packs in so much for so little!
Rating: 5
Summary: An Excellent Desk Reference
Comment: This dictionary is the best I have owned in many years.
It is comprehensive, detailed, and the font is easy on the eyes--something I cannot say for MANY dictionaries.
In this new age of online dictionaries, it is easy to overlook the fact that hardback dictionaries like this one can be so much more detailed and informative for those situations in which you want to get a real feel for a word and not just a quick answer--which makes this dictionary particularly useful for students of literature, history, and the social sciences.
As a poli-sci major myself, I, of course, highly recommend this book.
