Great book!
Amazing book, and has really enhanced my vocabulary. The character development and plot is occasionally thin, so anyone looking for a short and snappy novel may be better suited elsewhere. Nonetheless, plenty of twists and turns and well as laid out in a fantastic alphabetical order. Personal highlights include the most and least alphabetical word for each letter and those tricky 2 letter words for scrabble! Plenty Easter Eggs for fans of Dr Johnsons early work, although the 2006 edition is just as good, if not better, than any of its predecessors. A fine vintage dictionary for the year and cannot wait for the next installment! Outstanding work from the lexicographers. 10/10Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
