An Excellent Reference

This is a very good dictionary, similar to the "Webster's New World Dictionary for Students": the definitions are simple and clear. Sometimes it is the only dictionary (including the college-level types) that gives a definition that can be understood at a glance. The only reason that I don't rate it with 5 stars is that it doesn't include simple derivations for each word (or at least the base word) and, of course, the list of definitions for many words is not extensive (but normally very sufficient). I like the lighter-weight paper because it feels more like a regular dictionary/book and the book's weight is less. Well done.
