Customer Reviews
Review Summary: Large print very nice
Date: 2007-08-04
Details: The large print of this dictionary is great and the format is nice. However, this is not an exhaustive source, for there are a lot of words that cannot be found within its pages.
Review Summary: Ill Defined
Date: 2007-04-23
Details: I purchased this dictionary for my 94 year old mother who is an avid reader but must use large print. There remain very few words she doesn't know the meaning of but, even so, she uses a paperback dictionary with small print frequently.
While she was excited when she received The Large Print American Heritage Dictionary,it now collects dust on a shelf.
This dictionary is useful for seeing impaired children and adolescents but too narrowly defined for adults.
