Oxford Paperback Dictionary & Thesaurus 3rd Edition

Haven't really put this thing to work yet, but I'm quite impressed with the definitions available. This dictionary not only serves as a literal reference, but also has a phone app you can download that provides you with an electronic version of the dictionary. The only downside is that it contains ads...

Great buy at a great cost

Love a good dictionary. And let's face it. Oxford is the best!

The book had torn pages and the book looked nasty and worn out

This book includes nice and succinct information on almost any topic. The only reason I gave this a 4 star is because the back cover of my book came with a couple creases.

Great resource for all ages

This dictionary is a great dictioinary its everything i hope it would be. This book is a great source of study. I am engaged in an online degree program an obtaining this dictionary helps me through out my studies. The contents of the book is very clear and understandable.

So, obviously this is a great dictionary & thesaurus and I am happy to have gotten a new one. The one we used to have was probably sculpted by a primitive man :D Yet, my disappointment stems from the fact that the cover is not in great condition. At first sight, I even thought to myself: "did I buy a used one, perhaps?" Sometimes, I do buy used books, this is why I had doubts. But nope. I got a new version, which probably has been mistreated in the warehouse. That being said, the inside part is in good condition instead. So, I'll keep it.
