The Merriam-Webster Dictionary - America's Best-Selling Dictionary - Mass Market Paperback

Thumbing through this, this thing looks fairly good and comprehensive. I definitely needed a good dictionary that was written within the last few years,

It's much larger than I thought. Very nice, lot's of information.

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.

Nice quality and is a good dictionary

The print in this book is super small, but it is that’s the only reason I gave four stars is because the print is so small but it’s a good dictionary

this one has a good bit in it for the price...Love it..

DICTIONARY

I was talking to my future grand niece in law. I explained to her that when she sends something to me and my husband, there are two ways to write the address - formal and informal. Formal would be Mr & Mrs John Doe, and informal would be Jane and John Doe. We are old school and from the days when writing letters was very common. I told her that I cringe when I see John and Jane Doe. I said that there were acceptable ways to address people of all ranks. Many times she says she wonders if she is addressing people properly when writing letters. She is a secretary to a DA. She did not know that a dictionary was more than words and definitions. It is her go-to authority now!
