Reviews

[Uther Pendragon · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's not really a Webster's Dictionary. (That's why it states, on the colophon page, that it's 'based upon the broad foundations laid down by Noah Webster'.)

Webster is like Hoyle: anyone can attach that name to their book. (Was it King who said that?)

But it's still an excellent dictionary.

[Tracy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Second edition! One of my favorite dictionaries to cart around. It's not exactly the OED, but it's satisfying in the way books full of all the words ought to be.
