'It's the most human of dictionaries, the most quirky and eccentric, the hardest to put down once picked up' Philip Pullman

'Impeccable as a reference tool, Chambers is a delight to browse through' Jilly Cooper

The Chambers Dictionary remains the dictionary of choice for professional writers, puzzle and wordgame enthusiasts and everyone with a love of words.

The latest edition of the dictionary includes definitions of over 500 new words that have recently entered the language.

While the traditional Chambers virtues of being informative, witty and authoritative have been retained, the design and content have been updated to provide a clear and modern text for today's users.
