all OK

Well, actually I already knew this edition, as I had been enjoying a dictionary like this for almost 10 years until it died in action (I mean fell apart) and I decided it was time to have a new one. It's a shame they don't publish this 2nd edition anymore - the third one is way worse. As for the quality of the purchase - well, it said "almost new" and since I would take it for "new" without a doubt, I give 5 stars.
