  • The best I have found.

    The book is in very good condition. This is my 3rd copy. Being so large and the number of puzzles I attempt every week-it gets used often. The two previous copies fell apart after a few years. Tape worked for a while but then it was time to replace. I've tried other smaller books but this one is the best though outdated per current entertainment/entertainers (movies, rappers, authors, etc..) but I can work around that. Good price and free shipping--its currently over $20 on well known mass retailers sight.

  • This is 'MY GO-TO DICTIONARY', I have many others but this is it.

    I read about it in 2013, and put it on my Christmas Wish List, and got it from my lovely daughter as my Christmas Gift. I have used it not only for Crossword Puzzles, but trivia, history, etc. On Valentine Day this past week the one I order this month was my boyfriend, who is 82 years old, and it was delighted. He is a true Crossword Puzzle freak. It helps bond us. I like the tabs, making it easy to find the word I am looking for and it lays so nice, the other books (Dictionaries) are small and will not stay open like this one does.

  • Most awesome book ever for crossword junkies~

    My dad is a consumer for crosswords. He absolutely loves this book. He now no longer has to take a bag of books-he has stacked them away and he ONLY uses this crossword dictionary. By the way, the 2004 editional he also kept, but just for looks!

  • Greatest book I have!

    This crossword dictionary is absolutely the most valuable book for a crossword puzzle enthusiast that I have ever had and seen. I've actually had a couple of them in my time because I use them so much that the pages start getting loose and come out! I wouldn't be without one!

  • Crossword puzzle must.

    Love all the possible crossword answers. Its a great help when you need to think of the many connotations a word may have. I have other crossword dictionaries not as complete as this one is.

  • The very best

    I love to work crossword puzzles and make use of all sorts of reference books, computer look ups and smart phone apps. But I still rely on my Million Word Dictionary. I finally wore out my original hardcover one and went with this revised 2nd Edition. It is great, with a bunch of additions. I plan on wearing it out too.
