It’s like the cliff notes version of the multi volume Oxford English Dictionary. Still, it’s more informative than the standard Miriam Webster dictionary

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite dictionary of all time.
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2012

I have been using this dictionary version for 5 years or so. It has almost every single word I have ever had to look up. By comparison, often I will try to look up 5 words in a row in 2 or 3 other random dictionaries and the words will not be there, but they will be in this one. This is the second copy of this dictionary I have owned, because the first one got water damage. Seriously if you actually want to find your words, get this dictionary.

I needed 10 copies of the Oxford Dictionary of Current English as I am teaching a course in Kenya leaving very soon. Amazon's site said they had 4 copies left. They sent me 3 packages of my books. I was impressed with that. I assumed that they went to their own vendors and obtained copies one-at-a time to fulfill my order of 4 books.
My husband and I are frequent customers of Amazon. Thank you for being so trustworthy, economical, and efficient in delivery. You are THE best!
