Book News Annotation:A remarkable bargain and a pleasure to use for research or browsing,
notable for its aesthetic attractiveness (a particularly clear and
handsome typeface, spacious pages, and some 4,000 pieces of margin
art--b&w photographs, line drawings, and maps); its ease of use
(thumb-indexing, large and dark running heads, no bemystifying
abbreviations or symbols to decipher); its abundance of aids to
usage; and finally its clear and precise word meanings (some 350,000
entries, about 16,000 of them new), along with thousands of
etymologies, 400 word history paragraphs, 900 cross-referenced
synonym paragraphs, and more than 100 Regional American English
Notes. Goes to the head of the class.
