About the author

Oxford University Press (OUP), a department of the University of Oxford, is the largest university press in the world. The university became involved in printing around 1480, becoming a major source of Bibles, prayer books and scholarly works. It took on the Oxford English Dictionary project in the late 19th century, and in order to meet the ever-rising costs of the work, it expanded into publishing children's books, school text books, music, journals, and the World's Classics series. OUP is committed to major financial support of the university and to furthering the university's excellence in scholarship, research and education through its publishing.

Reviews

[Tuhin]

Reading dictionaries is an activity reserved for psychopaths. However, having a reliable and comprehensive digital dictionary greatly enhances the reading experience on a Kindle. It allows a reader to learn new words and discover new definitions for those already in his/her vocabulary, all while staying fully engaged with a lovely book on what are simply perfect devices. Glad to see the second edition has officially been published.
