Best one volume English dictionary.
I recently discovered this dictionary. How did I now know. It will forever be my go to dictionary. Especially now that the Oxford English Dictionary online has been disastrously redesigned. Since I got this I have bought another so I can have one at work and one at home.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
