Expected more than we got...,

This review is from: The American Heritage Crossword Puzzle Dictionary (American Heritage Dictionary) (Paperback)
Had high expectations of this dictionary based on the single review then posted, but we find it's seldom of much use when doing the daily puzzle in our paper. It's laid out quite nicely, but missing tons of things. We now use it only as a backup when other dictionaries fail. Disappointing overall.
