Merriam-Webster The Dictionary

Book was folded upon delivery and apparently not brand new. A bit disappointed.

No doubt, The dictionary content is very very good but the page is not much more satisfying. The publisher should think over. I don't know wherefrom they come but Durability is compromised.

In the age of the Internet, one may question - "why is a dictionary even necessary when you have Google or Dictionary.com"? The answer - it's because homework and Scrabble still exist. I purchased the Merriam-Webster Dictionary primarily for the kids to use in our house, but I find myself flipping through it from time to time to help define some obscure words I find in a random novel or two. The dictionary is as straight forward as it gets - definitions are simple and to the point, and there are no example sentences that the word is used in. The paper of the dictionary is the same thickness of most paperback books - it's not Bible thin, but it's not heavy duty paper either. The font is teeny tiny - I'm guessing 10 pt - but if you can read most magazine fonts, you're should be okay. I didn't find the font to be any smaller than the font in my issues of Family Circle or Better Homes and Gardens, but it definitely seemed more compressed since this is a dictionary with little white space and no pictures. Overall, great resource if you're looking for a good updated dictionary.

I had in the past using the Oxford dictionary, and I still using it. If you deal with american people the Webster is the one to use. Their expression are some time different and the spelling also.
