My dictionary came fast, and in great condition. It was a perfect addition to my library.

Bought for my daughter to have in high school Great dictionary

My grandson is in the 4th grade and I needed to upgrade him from his elementary age dictionary.

Flipping through pages of a printed dictionary is something that feel almost archaic these days - but it’s a unique experience, and gives you an opportunity to pick up random bits, images and associated definitions which efficient and precise search engines will not show you. This refreshed edition from Merriam-Webster adds 200 new words to its 110,000 definitions, and keeps a 1280 pages to a manageable size by leveraging a very small print and translucently-thin paper. The print quality is perfect for this miniature font, but the paper is thin enough for next page’s text to be visible through, making the pages difficult to read unless lifted up. The paper, despite thinness, is strong enough to survive continued use, the hard covers are not fancy, but substantial and solid - this dictionary is definitely built to survive some abuse. Overall a solid buy for a high-schooler who still has a preference for a printed reference source.

I bought two of these as gifts for my 13 year-old nephews, and they liked the dictionary very much. I think we are oftentimes better off using something like this rather than the internet for reference, as it's something you can count on to be correct. I'm sure this dictionary will be of great help to them for years to come.
