5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Necessity, April 15, 2002

By	David A. Naess "howdydave" (Rochester, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a writer I could not properly do my work without my Webster's. Granted, it is a bit big to use as a desktop dictionary for looking up the proper spelling of a word. Then again, that is not the purpose of an unabridged dictionary. If one is building a reference library the unabridged dictionary is just as necessary as a thesaurus.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the dictionary I reach for, May 8, 2002

By	Mark Guzowski (Idaho Falls, Idaho USA) - See all my reviews

Imho the definitions contained within most accurately reflect the American dialect of English. Certain other dictionaries seem so far off base it isn't funny. An indispensable book. I wish there was a Windows version of *this* dictionary! Slang & jargon (historical & otherwise) are the main definitions I still need to occasionally lookup elsewhere.

By	David A. Naess "howdydave" (Rochester, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a writer I find that this is a book without which my reference library would be incomplete. It may be a bit big for the standard desktop dictionary one uses to look up the spelling of a word. Then again, that is not the purpose of an unabridged dictionary. If one is building a reference library, the unabridged dictionary is just as necessary as a thesaurus.
