This is a brand new large print dictionary, offering to visually impaired readers a good, up-to-date text in a large, clear font. This large print dictionary is one of the new generation of Oxford dictionaries, derived from the database of the ground-breaking New Oxford Dictionary of English. It provides good coverage of the core English vocabulary, including new words and senses, with definitions that are concise and easy-to-understand. It also includes short, accessible notes on difficult spellings, confusable words, and tricky areas of usage. Information is presented simply and clearly, with minimal use of abbreviations. The Royal National Institute for the Blind have acted as consultants for the design and format which incorporate specially commissioned features following recommended guidelines. These features include extra-wide inner margins, good quality paper affording maximum contrast between type and paper and with minimal show-through, generous line-spacing and margins throughout, and appropriate font type and size. This new edition replaces the previous edition of the Oxford Large Print Dictionary ISBN 0-19-861322-9.

Know what you're getting,
By SVL (Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Large Print Dictionary (Hardcover)
Be sure to look inside this dictionary before buying it. I did not. Entries do not provide pronunciation or etimology which might be important to the user.

Great Buy,
By NW Reader (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Large Print Dictionary (Hardcover)
Very comprehensive dictionary. Large print is easy to read and best of all is the compact size. Not to heavy to carry around and easy to use. Especially for the elderly who may not have a lot of strength to hold a large dictionary.

OXFORD LARGE PRINT DICTIONARY,
By Clorton Ermetti "Book Maven." (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Large Print Dictionary (Hardcover)
While I appreciate the LARGE print in this dictionary, it comes
at a SACRIFICE! There apparently are LESS entries than my old paperback Oxford American Dictionary. Accordingly I am dissapointed! :-(
