I have used this dictionary for over 25 years and have worn out my copy. It is well organized, easy to research, and has the answers.

Mine is almost worn to shreds. I find it extremely useful, and the three and four letter word finders easier to use than most. I agree that the name finder needs a serious update, but since many crossword puzzles use the same clues, I have many penciled in names in that section. This dictionary is one of two I use, the other being the New American which sometimes has a more extensive listing under animal, herb, flower and star clues and a complimentary category listing. Now, if they only would come out with a dictionary that would have more foreign word definitions and also latin sayings, it would be perfect.

I love this dictionary and use it all the time. But it should be updated to now. The names in the NAME FINDER ARE OUT DATED, plus all the other sections are too. Please let me know if you plan on doing this.

I love this dictionary but it needs to be updated. The last copyright was 1994 and there are alot more names that should be in the NAME FINDER, and all the sections of this dictionary...Please let my know if you plan on a new copyright.
Thank you.

Very helpful when you need help doing crossword puzzles. The proper

names are listed by first and also last names. It is the best cross

word Dictionary that i have used.

Multiple sources within one volume. Lots of Crossword Help even for the novice puzzel worker

The names section is the one that distinguishes this book from all the others, but it badly needs to be updated. I had to buy a replacement since an updated version was not available so now I must transcribe all the penciled in names - a lot of work.

I received this book on time and in perfect condition. It is a fine little book as far as it goes. However, at the same time that I bought this book, I also bought THE MILLION WORD CROSSWORD DICTIONARY, which is the best, bar none, crosswored puzzle solving aid I have ever used. I tend to use all my other crossword books secondary to it.

This little Crossword Dictionary by Dell is the best little book for me. I keep it in easy reach. It has helped me learn quite a few words that were unfamiliar to me and gives me a wide vocabulary in my everyday conversations with people.

I thank Dell for a wonderful addition to my library.

If any one is looking to replace the old version with the red cover this is the exact same book. There are two different versions of this book. The only difference is the font size and spacing.
