Is "legislator" pronounced with an "er" sound at the end or an "or"? Is the Jewish festival of lights spelled "Chanukah," "Hanuka," or "Hanukkah"? With Webster's New World College Dictionary, which promises to describe rather than prescribe, you can take your pick. The dictionary includes more than 150,000 entries, including brief biographical and geographical notes and useful drawings and diagrams (depictions of four kinds of buoys, for example). The guide to pronunciation and symbols is given on every other page, handy for those who don't like to refer to the inside cover each time they forget how to pronounce the sound of the schwa (of course, the guides on the inside and front covers are more extensive). Starred words refer to Americanisms, which number more than 11,000, such as "hornswoggle" and "Hopi" and "kitchenette." The definitions themselves are clear and simple and seldom have you scurrying to another page for a definition of the definition. Easy to use and understand, Webster's New World College Dictionary is a fine addition to any high school or college student's desk set. --Rebecca A. Staffel


Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Re: Office dictionary

An excellent single volume, office or school dictionary. The delivery was ahead of schedule and the condition was fine.

3 out of 5 stars Nice Dictionary but..

I had to get a hard back dictionary for my Eng 101 class for a vocabulary project and found that the definitions weren't lengthy enough for complete understanding. I got tired of looking up synonyms, but the CD-ROM is very useful.

4 out of 5 stars Dictionary

Dictionary in very good shape and received promptly. For the future you may want to indicate edition number.

3 out of 5 stars Watch out on this item

I purchased this dictionary from Caiman and there is supposed to be a CD with it. They never sent it to me and when I complained they asked me to send it back. I want the CD not a refund. It is a nice dictionary and I would love to have the computer version for my laptop.

5 out of 5 stars Very nice dictionary

This is a fine resource item at a very good price. Easy on the eyes too.
