Product Description

Now updated with more than 3,000 new words and meanings, The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary manages more than one third of the coverage of the OED in one-tenth the size. More than 500,000 definitions grace its 3,984 pages, and its innovative, open design makes this vast amount of information easily navigable and identifiable. The Shorter covers virtually every word or phrase in use in English--worldwide--since 1700. Drawing on the continuous research for The Oxford English Dictionary, each definition's changing meanings are followed throughout history and are illustrated by more than 83,000 quotations from some 7,000 authors. The world's most comprehensive, thorough, and up-to-date unabridged dictionary, The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is an essential resource for every library.

5 out of 5 stars Book Review

Oxford English Dictionary was bought used and we received it in excellent condition and very timely manner before Christmas.

5 out of 5 stars Valuable Tool

It is necessary when reading to be able to comprehend the ideas being put forth by the writer of the material you are reading. I have found that the Oxford English Dictionary has been a valuable tool for my understanding of much of the material I have been reading both for recreation and for business. As these volumes are not easly accessed at commercial stores. It was a great delight to discover I could purchase them online at Amazon.com.
It was very convenient and easy to purchase them and have them delivered to my home in a short period of time.

5 out of 5 stars shorter oxford english dictionary with cd-rom

I think I am in love. This is a beautiful compliation from the twenty odd volume set!! with a cd rom a pronunciation key and use in historic context. True love with words and language, and a great teacher.

5 out of 5 stars Superb dictionary

The shorter OED was a gift for my husband, and he thinks it is extremely...I'll have to ask him to come up with a word meaning really, really good.
