  • Im overjoyed with this!!!

    I know its silly to be excited over a dictionary but i am! Content is exactly what i expected, its a great resource! My only issue with it is cosmetic, the cover...it's broken and bent BAD it's condition isn't at all good, but the inside is Perfect! Either way, if you need a good dictionary/thesaurus, this is the best ive ever owned!
