This is a major new edition of the acclaimed Oxford-Duden German Dictionary, the result of a unique collaboration between two of the world's foremost dictionary publishers - Oxford University Press and the Dudenverlag.

In my current position as press attache at the German Embassy, I use the Oxford-Duden German Dictionary every morning to decipher the artfully crafted and pointed headlines of the British newspapers for the press review which I prepare every morning for the Auswartiges Amt (Foreign Office) in Berlin."--Michael Fluegger, Press Attache, German Embassy, London
