Customer Reviews

not like the others

The best dictionary ever. I usually find words here that I can't find in other dictionaries and finding a small dictionary that has a superior selection of difficult words is something I needed both in college and in the real world.

The best porket dictionary money can buy

I have used all the major ones on the market, this one is by far the best. Large vocabulary, accurate and concise explanations, and the comforting overall layout of the whole book. A+!

Best of the dinky dictionaries

If you really cannot lug your big American Heritage Dictionary around with you wherever you bring your portable reading, this is the only alternative. Good definitions, etymologies.
