What is there to say about the bible of the English language? The O-E-D is the authority on word meanings and origins of the mosty beautiful language on earth. I've wanted one since high school, but for much of my life, even this miniaturized version (The full O-E-D, of course, is twenty volumes long) was an unjustifiable expense. The "compact" edition can be hard on the eyes, of course, even with the nifty magnifying glass that comes with the Dictionary. If you want to know the real story behind every word you use, the only place to go is the Oxford English Dictionary. Someday, I hpe to have the money and the room for the full-sized set!
If you already have the OED then this supplement containing all the modern words, mainly of American origin, is a great addition. Caution: As for the compact OED you will need a good magnifying glass to be able to read the text. If you have vision issues this may not be the book for you.
