indispensable

i'm surprised at some of the complaints. i've found this to be one of the best dictionaries i've ever had. i previously bought and returned the merriam-webster dictionary because a lot of its definitions seemed old-fashioned or ill-aimed. the vast majority of entries i've found have spot-on defn's; it's particularly good at describing modern, american usage (in fact its stated emphasis is on "americanisms"). it also has the best etymology i've found anywhere, listing the PIE origins of most words.

nb the "pictures" that one reviewer complained about are a miniscule part of the space of the page; most pages have only one, and over 50% have none at all. many are actually maps or other useful diagrams (parts of a feather, a horse, the frame of a house, etc.).

Great reference work.

I read a lot of reviews and evaluated our needs. Basically we wanted a good, all around dictionary that would be durable and pleasant to use. We put this on a dictionary stand and everyone in the family uses it often, yes, even the grandchildren. Love it!

A good read, but cluttered

It takes a lot of work to tease a coherent plot out of this baby. But I'm used to reading Pynchon, so what the hey.

Love it!

"Very clear, informative,and customer friendly." These words are likely to be heard when talking about Webster's New World College Dictionary. This dictionary is is designed to meet of of it's customer's and user's needs and it surely does! This book has been very helpful to me. Thanks Michael E. Agnes and staff!

Warning: This dictionary may not be your best choice!

The Webster's New World College Dictionary, 4th Edition, is not the best choice for a comprehensive and definitive collegiate dictionary.

Please review the Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition, before making a decision regarding the purchase of a dictionary.

The Merriam-Websters Dictionary, with an included cd-rom of its contents, is far superior in the number of entries and definitions to the Webster's New World College Dictionary.
