Not the greatest dictionary. Alot of words missing. Probably ok for a middle school student but not recommended for high school or university.

Best little dictionary in this price range,
By Traveler (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pocket Oxford English Dictionary (Hardcover)
The "Pocket Oxford English Dictionary" is just about the best dictionary you can get for this type and in this price range.The physical size of the dictionary is accessible and handy - sort of like your own word leatherman tool. The text is easy to read with each entry in bold. The quality of the paper is quite good and should withstand heavy use. This is also a hardcover which makes it more even more sturdy. And the defintions are pretty much current and up-to-date. In sum, it's about the best portable dictionary you can get. About the only quibble is that this edition has only 120,000 defintions. However, this is just the constraint of the size and purpose of the dictionary. If they had made it longer you wouldn't have the portable size.

By Brigitte Martin "Brigitte" (Oakville, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pocket Oxford English Dictionary (Hardcover)
I love the handy size, the vinyl cover, and the amount of info given (includes info on the origin of the word, which often makes it easier to remember the meaning). Very happy with the choice of dictionary.
