Merriam Dictionary/ very small print and sparce incomplete definition to words. So much is missing....
This dictionary's print is so small I had to use a magnifying glass and I dont wear prescription glasses. I also found that many words were missing that should have been there. Their definitions were sparce on meaning in my opinion. If you want a good dictionary it's best to pay or a good one like Webster's dictionary not this one who's best use for me so far was to provide a fire for my BBQ cookout. This is was a total loss of my money. Merriam should be ashamed to have published such a worthless piece of junk.

Great book at a great price.
It's a great book being it's the 4th edition and my brother who I bought this for had the 3rd edition which was used by him so much it was falling apart so when I gave it to him, he was so surprised. He does a lot of NY Daily News crossword puzzles so having an updated brand-new book is really great. Thank you.

Quite light for its size & title says all
A handy Crossword assistant.A little cumbersome which is unavoidable considering its huge content.It is probably the most complete book of this nature I have seen.Very helpful.

The info is good but the size of the book is not.
I was expecting a larger size book. The previous addition was a larger size, easier to read. This one was smaller than expected.

The title describes exactly what you will find inside the book.
It is just what I needed to work on crossword puzzles. I like the size, the cost, the free delivery and the ease of looking up words.
