From Amazon.com

The Oxford English Dictionary has long been considered the ultimate reference work in English lexicography. Compiled by the legendary editor James Murray and a staff of brilliant philologists and lexicographers (not to mention one homicidal maniac), the OED was originally conceived in 1857 as a four-volume set, but by the time the last volume was published in 1928, it had swelled to 10 volumes containing over 400,000 entries. In the years since, the staff of the OED has continued to keep pace with our ever-evolving language, and today the dictionary weighs in at a whopping 20 volumes. The great joy of this dictionary lies in its extensive cross-references and word etymologies, which can run a full page or more. These features not only make the OED the most comprehensive and authoritative dictionary of the English language, but a delight to browse. --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.


Review

The OED has been to me a teacher, a companion, a source of endless discovery. I could not have become a writer without it.-- Anthony Burgess The greatest treasure of wordsall the raw material a writer needs for a lifetime of work.-- Annie Proulx The Oxford English Dictionary is more than a national monument to lexicography. The vast storehouse of the words and phrases that constitute the vocabulary of the English-speaking people is the ultimate authority on the English language as well as a history of English speech and thought from its infancy to the present day.-- The Times The gigantic total picture of the English languagean epic achievement.-- The Observer The greatest dictionary ever compiled.-- Sunday Telegraph The greatest dictionary in any language.-- The Telegraph It is a remarkable work of scholarship, and must rank high among the wonders of the world of learning.-- The Times Educational Supplement The greatest work in dictionary making ever undertaken.-- The New York Times --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.

4.0étoiles sur 5 OED CD-ROM v. 2.0--OUP has good customer service, Jui 24 2004
This review is from: The Oxford English Dictionary (Hardcover)
Just wanted to offer a more balanced viewpoint to the perception that OUP has bad customer service--a view that I came across on Amazon customer reviews of the OED CD-ROMs. I got 2 replies on the SAME day from the OUP UK office and a link to a patch which fixed the problem of v. 2.0 not being compatible with Windows XP. I prayed extra hard that the problem would be solved as I really missed my OED. And my prayer came true. :)

5.0étoiles sur 5 Outstanding, Avril 26 2004
Par sadhana444 "sadhana444" (Anchorage, AK United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Oxford English Dictionary (Hardcover)
There's not much question that the 20 volume set of the Oxford English Dictionary (Second Edition) sets the standard for all other dictionaries to follow. There are, however, some associated questions. First, how good is the cd version? Version 3.0 is still a bit risky due to technical issues - ok for the daring, devoted, but probably not tame enough for the technological faint-of-heart. Second, what to get with the large set? Try "A Guide to the Oxford English Dictionary," by Donna Lee Berg. Third, what if the 20 volume set is too pricey? Well, there is the 20 volumes crunched into 1 volume for the very keen eyed; there is also the 2 volume "Shorter Oxford English Dictionary" with fewer entries; and for the Webster's fans, there is always the "Webster's Third New International Dictionary."

5.0étoiles sur 5 Wealth of scholarship at one's fingertips, Fév 21 2004

This review is from: The Oxford English Dictionary (Hardcover)
I bought the CD-ROM 3.0 version of the Oxford English Dictionary recently, and have had no problem whatsoever installing it or using it. It is such a convenient tool to use in my line of work, which has to do with words. This is one of my most precious possessions. Such an authoritative work of reference virtually at my fingertips! I like the use of colours in it, too, especially when my eyesight is not what it used to be.

When one compares the price of this version of the OED and the prices of other things in the world today, this is really good value for money. I would recommend it to anyone who loves to delve into the meanings, origins and history of words in the English language.
