Compact Oxford English Dictionary Hardcover – Unabridged, January 1, 2005

For those times when your internet doesn't work this is a great little dictionary to have on hand!

This compact and spartan OED of Current English is produced to fit the maximum number of entries in a compact space; the pages are thin, the definitions are terse, and there are no added maps, population tables, etc. A US user might cavil that a lot of British usage and slang is included. But on the whole it is a very useful dictionary, inexpensive, easy to read, with a vast number of words in a book one can carry about easily without back strain. It admirably suits the purpose for which it was designed, and I am happy to replace my old Webster with it.

Love it

Concise and very adequate for every day language needs.

It's in great condition. Like new.

The picture shows the thesaurus and dictionary. However, they appear to be sold separately and the price you are paying is for ONE of the two.

I think this dictionary is okay. I expected it to have more definitions for the words than it does. I think it's good for maybe elementary school or something like that.

Great, came as advertised.
