I got this dictionary because I read in bed at night and use a booklight. If I run upon a word I don't know, I would like to have a dictionary that's easy to see quickly without straining my eyes. (I'm 45) The print in this dictionary is great, but lots of words are left out, rendering it almost useless. Why not leave out the easy words if something has to go? Bottom line -- I'm back to straining my eyes with a regular dictionary.

I wish that I had ordered sooner. Print is very readable. Large printing but the dictionary is small in size. Will be giving for Christmas presents to my Senior Friends. Highly Recommended

Her eyesight is not what it used to be, so she asked me to buy her a "good dictionary in large print". I couldn't think of any other title but this one, and she loves it.

The idea behind this book is excellent. The large print in this book is excellent. But they left out way too many needed words when they had to choose what to include and what to leave out. Don't get rid of your old dictionary!

The print is definately large but the definitions are very vague. I found myself looking up definitions to the definition.

An excellent and easy quide for those of us now dependent on reading glasses. Perfect for the quick word check when using computer glasses and being too lazy to look for or change to our other set of specs.

This is the perfect dictionary for older eyes!! I can actually read the defination of a word and not have to ask for help!! I LOVE IT!

This was purchased for my mom and she loves the large print. She keeps it next to her computer and says it is quick and easy to use. If you need a dictionary this is the one to buy.

The dictionary was ordered 12/16/11 (free shipping), and was to be included with other items that were received around the 22nd. It was not included with the shipment so it did not arrive for Christmas giving. After following up with Amazon, the item was received within a week. This is not the basis for the 2-star rating.

The large-print edition of the dictionary contained too few words that are not commonly known and the brief definitions of the words were insufficient as to elaboration. The dictionary was of little use to us and I have returned the item for refund.

My sweet 85 yr. old Mother wanted a new dictionary with LARGE print. I had this one sent to her and she loves it!! The book is thick enough but not so thick or heavy that she can't handle it. The size of the print is perfect too.
