Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary

In Better condition then I was expecting.

Like: it reads well

This is the dictionary that is the perfect size for work or college dorm. I bought this not for the home but for work. It's a hardcover edition so it can just sit on my desk next to my computer. It's easily more convenient than having to go to the Merriam-Webster website, which can be very slow at times. Since getting this dictionary for work, I've used it almost everyday and have found every word I was looking for. Because it's a collegiate dictionary, it's got a nice reference in the back of the dictionary for things like signs and symbols and a handbook of style section. The paper stock is smooth, white and crisp. Each page is arranged in two columns, which I find easier to read than a three column page arrangement of the unabridged dictionary I use at home. For the price, it's a steal. B&N was charging $25 for this in one of its stores. I got this at Amazon for over $10 less and no tax!

This dictionary is handy to have when you internet is out and you can Google the words. It's always great to have a back-up reference. It's worth buying.

This was a little slow arriving but was worth the wait. It is easy to use and an extremely handy resource. Very easy to read and to access, it is just what I needed. My dictionary was at an excellent price and arrived in mint condition.

This edition of the Webster's Dictionaray was recommended to me when I began writing historical fiction. Many of the entries have a note giving the year the word was first used. I had previously used an Oxford English Dictionary, which does not give the year of origin. The nice thing about the Oxford, however, is that it contains many words used in England along with English, rather than American, spellings.This would also be a useful dictionary for the high school student. It has a presentation page making it a nice gift for students.

Corners crushed and rubbed with dirt, inner jacket shows water damage. Overall used and abused condition despite being advertised as new and costing what a new dictionary would cost. Not happy about having to now return it and buy elsewhere because I needed this for the start of the school year. See now the reviews show this is not an isolated occurrence.

It’s always a great thing when you have a never changing hard copy to reference that defines words and their meaning.

Fast shipping. Book exactly as advertised.

Très bien organisé avec onglets pour accès rapide. Des exemples illustrent l'utilisation des mots et des synonymes et antonymes sont aussi ajoutés à la fin de chaque définition. Il y a aussi une section géographie et personnages illustres.
