Summary: A poor reference guide
Review: I bought this dictionary because it had received some good reviews. However, I must say that I am extremely disappointed and would not recommend its purchase to anyone. Every dictionary that I have ever used has divided the word it is defining into its correct syllables and then given the words' definiton. Well, not this one. My son was looking up words for a homework assignment and had to find the word "vegetable" and write down the amount of syllables it contained. This dictionary lists vegetable like this --> "veg-eta-ble". First, I thought it was an error. After all, who divides vegetable like that? As I did some further research, I soon realized that the dictionary does not bother to list the words and their syllables. Well, what I need is a complete dictionary, not some joke of one...

Summary: EXCELLENT REFERENCE!
Review: I enjoyed the real down to earth definitions of many words. One fatal flaw I found with this dicitonary was that many common words were mispelled such as CAT and COMPUTER. Overall this a valuable resource for many!

Summary: Anything goes.
Review: I have found my old edition of the dictionary less than satisfactory. It accepts pronounciations such as "nucular" as "nonstand" simply because it is used by some not too literate politicians. A dictionary that elevates ignorance to "nonstand" is, in my opinion, not trustworthy. Perhaps the newest edition is more reliable.

Summary: Be Forewarned
Review: I just want to put forward two facts. 1) This is not the Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (now in it's eleventh edition), and 2) it is not published by Merriam-Webster. If you want a simple basic dictionary it may be fine. This dictionary has pictures and half as many words as Merriam-Webster's Collegiate 11th edition. If you are a college student/graduate or a serious user of the english language, this will probably not suffice. It irritates me that the makers of this dictionary (complete down to the red and blue cover) attempt to construe themselves as a collegiate dictionary.

Summary: I confess; I bought it because it was cheep and available.
Review: I work best with hardback dictionaries at my work location. The cover finally fell off the old dictionary. I saw this one and it was cheep and available. I paid for it while the wrapper was still on. Well I may have made a mistake. First this one has no index tabs. I looked up some well-used words such as "kine" and got just two word definition cow and cattle. The previous dictionary "Webster's II New revised University Dictionary", described even the word history and covered the changes in history. I show that the word came from Middle English as "ku". And that it persisted until the 17th century. This word is used in an Ayn Rand book and would not make sense if you only had the "New World College Dictionary" I also looked up acetylene and found a fair definition but it had room for the formula and did not display it. The definitions are squeezed out to make room for pictures. On the next page is a portrait of Martin Luther King. There are all kinds of pretty pictures of people. If you are interested in people and not spelling or anything in-depth, then this dictionary for you In the mean time I will suffer with this until I have time to find a real dictionary. However it may do for you. Practical info: Nearly 7,500 entries for today's world. 4 color world atlas and numerous tables and charts. Thousands of Geographical and Biographical Entries. Helpful notes, examples and Synonyms. Includes unique Americanisms.

Summary: Non-English Speaker
Review: I'm a Korean, so, I do not use English in my daily life. However, I should study English for a professinal reason. Comparing with others, this dictionary has been a great help for me to understand subtle meaning of English(Foreign Languge) words, and to improve my English speaking, writing ability. Still I have many problem with my English I will always hold it in my hand, and study hard. Honor to Webster Dictionary!

Summary: one of the best of the world after oxford classical
Review: I'm university's teacher in France and we don't like bad dictionnaries in France. But this one give more details on words' etymology than any other french dictionnary. Whatever is the field of your research, you will find the word. Maybe the Oxford classical is better but its price is higher (much more). Believe me, you'll be paid back if you choose it. If you need more, spare some money.
