Review Summary: Webster's New World Large Print Dictionary
Date: 2008-10-16
Details: This book is big and heavy. The description does not describe that. It describes the large print but not the extremely large size of the book. It is hard to pick up. Impossible for a young child or older person to handle. More importantly, a number of words are missing. I would not recommend it at all.
Review Summary: Dictionary

Details: This is a fabulous dictionary for school, office, or home use. The large print is helpful for finding words and definitions. The size is large but not heavy in weight. There are most words commonly used found in conversation and literature. A great buy!
Review Summary: It's not unabridged, but it won't insult your daily vocabulary/dictionary needs.
Date: 2008-04-23
Details: This dictionary is exactly what I needed... more complete than many of the 20,000 - word "large print" being offered today, yet very affordable. It is hard-backed; a real "use it for years" reference book. It is printed on a much better grade of paper than the bargain models (the ones that feel a bit like fine sandpaper to the touch). You can lay this book down open to any page and it stays open! This volume is a bit too much of a load to carry around with you. But if you are looking for a good desk-reference dictionary, or one for home use to check spelling or proper useage, and you require larger print; I believe this will suit your purposes.
It's also a great mental exercise once in awhile to use a dictionary rather than just a spell-check.
