5.0 out of 5 stars It’s very comprehensive dictionary
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } The media could not be loaded. I bought this dictionary from Bolo,vendor is good,it took about 7 days to get in the usps ,very comprehensive Dictionary,i don’t know why other people complained about the size,it’s big and I am glad it’s big with lots of information in it,my understanding is if a book is small than you can’t have much of the information,right?,so it’s not something that you can carry everyday in your backpack,it has to have a dedicated table for it,I am very happy with my purchase,love it
5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Dictionary
This is the best dictionary I have ever owned and is indispensable for anyone who writes articles and essays. It is comprehensive with parts of speech, word forms, clear definitions of the different senses, and etymology. I found the illustrating examples particularly useful. The individual definitions are written clearly without excess verbiage. This hefty tome is bigger than and superior to most cheaper dictionaries but worth the extra money.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!
If you are looking for a perfect dictionary, then this is it. Every word has a detailed meaning and examples of how to use it. Some other Oxford dictionaries, such as the Oxford American Dictionary for learners of English, don't include many important words, which can be frustrating.There is a paperback version of this dictionary. However, I am not sure whether it includes all the entries and corresponding details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mildly Dated, But Still Great in 2024
I wish OED produced another edition near 2020, as this 3rd ed. was published in 2010. But I am overall very satisfied with this product — I recommend this product for the tactile learner; a 3D dictionary encodes the words into my mind better than most 2D phone / tablet / PC modes. Combining both modern tech + a hefty dictionary does me even better. Highly recommend this extensive tome of a dictionary: 12/10.
4.0 out of 5 stars Smaller font; not up to date excluding some English words
It is a nice dictionary to refer to whenever writing. The words visco-supplementation (referred to in today's language as gel injections) nor others used currently appear in the dictionary. It is probably better to look up the spelling of those words and such on-line and utilize a hard copy thesaurus instead, which I may eventually purchase. This book is large so only feasible if placed near you where you can turn the pages without having to lift up the book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Bigger than Concise version. Has roadside
Love it. Its a beautifull dictionary. Im glad i chose this over the concise version which i thought was the full version, but when i went on wikipedia it said the concise was based off this (ODE) oxford dictionary of english.• Its as big phisically as "The American Heritage". ODE is supposed to have more "enteries"• the pages are "off white" vs the heritage (white)• all words, no pictures Love it!. The Heritage has some colors and some images• slight ghosting from the other side of the page. NON-DISTRACTINGHappy to have it.
5.0 out of 5 stars This Review is Specific to Hardcover Version not Kindle
The "Oxford Dictionary of English" is great and a must have in my opinion. If however, you are looking for an American-English dictionary, you actually want the "New Oxford American Dictionary". The Oxford Dictionary is the only general dictionary (unless a dictionary is specific to a field such as Medical Terminology, etc.) that I allow my students to quote from in papers and speeches. I have heard that some people have had problems with the Kindle edition, which I can neither confirm or deny since I do not use Kindle, so you may want to look at some of the one star ratings in particular if you are thinking of getting the Kindle version.
Condition.
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Arrived on time and for a large and comprehensive dictionary, the price is good . It is large , measuring 11 inches by 8 and a half across. It is heavy in weight, but for lovers of dictionaries , that probably would not matter.
Maravilloso!
Es cuanto esperaba! Maravilloso! Si pretendes adentrarte en el conocimiento de la lengua inglesa, este es el mejor diccionario!
比類のない英英辞典
「(日本人の)英語力は、究極的に、どの辞書を使うかで決まる」とは昔から分かっていた。しかし頭のどこかで、「英英辞典であれば問題ない、大差ない」と思っていた。この考えを見事に打ち砕いてくれたのが、この辞書である。例えば ‘structure’ は、長年使っていた辞書によれば、 “the way in which something is made, built, or organized” とある。また別の辞書には、 “the way in which something is organized, built or put together” とある。一方、この辞書によれば、"the arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements of something complex” である。つまり ‘structure’ は、単に「方法」とか「仕方」(way=manner)ではなく、「配置」と「関係」との2つの要素から成っていたのだ。しかもこの「関係」とは、「そのあらゆる構成要素同士のたがいの関係」なのだ。世界で一流の議論をする者たちは、 ‘structure’ をこれほど正確かつ厳密に理解していることが初めて分かった。他の全ての語についても同じである。もしこの辞書が30年前に書かれ、私がその時からこの辞書を使っていたとしたら、私の英語力は現在とは比べものにならないものであったろう(ネイティブであれば、遺伝的要素は別にしても、子供の頃から学校その他でいろいろ話を聞き本を読むうちに、たとえ辞書を引かなくとも、単語の意味が身につくはずであるが、その言わば知的環境により、単語理解のレベルが異なるものなのだろう。これは無論、どの言語についても言えることで、例えば上の ‘structure’ の場合、前者2つは一般的理解であり、最後のはやはり高レベルの理解であると思われる)。(ところで “strike” の例文にさりげなく “she was rather struck on Angus, wasn’t she?” とあるのが面白い)(そして私の一番好きな例文は、raise の項にあるこれである。”Universities are meant to raise doubts about every axiom.”)
