 Very pleased November 16, 2008
S. J. Stone (Jasper, GA, USA)
Based on reviews of others, I decided to order the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. My son in high school has been very pleased. We have discovered that a few of your more basic words are missing. (This is the only thing that stops me from rating it at 5 stars.) You may want to keep one of the 'cheap' dollar store versions as a back-up for these words. It is well worth the investment. You could easily spend just as much on 3 or 4 other dictionaries and still not get what you need.
DICTIONARY September 8, 2008
Janice Morris-harvey
It works for me and it would be even greater if it was in a large print for those of us who need this feature.
 Merriam Websters Collegiate Dictionary September 7, 2008
M. Keown
It pays to buy the 'real thing' and not paperbacks
and school district and college 'throw aways' whose
versions of the English langage were okay fifty years
ago but, not now? Amazon has it for more than a affordable
price and the finished product will last till you've forgotten
how to read?
 Not a large print dictionary September 6, 2008
R. Rausch (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
Although this is listed in Amazon as a "large print" dictionary, it's not. No knock on the dictionary, it's just not large print.
complete, dependable solid reference source August 14, 2008
Jackie A. Stanglin
I found this dictionary to be complete...dependable
I wish the print was larger, but it may be out in large print as well.
