About This Item
New York, NY Oxford University Press, 1996. Hardcover Near Fine: shows only the most minute indications of use: barely discernible rubbing to the lower extremities; a couple of small soil spots at the front free endpaper. Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 4to. 1829pp. Heavy, dark blue cloth over boards with gilt titles at the backstrip. Hardback: Lacks DJ. As a publications editor, I use my dictionary many times a day. I have found this particular dictionary to be the best I've ever used (I wish I had owned this book when I was in grad school). The definitions are clear and crisp, and the synonyms are a nice additional check on meaning and connotation as well as welcome suggestions for alternate words. This book is a must for writers and editors; it truly is the "ultimate language reference." I bought a copy for the office and a copy for my home.
