The Compact Oxford English Dictionary by J A Simpson
The Compact Edition of the OED reproduces micrographically, in a single volume, the complete text of the highly acclaimed Second Edition of The Oxford English Dictionary. In this edition, nine pages of the original fit onto just one. This volume comes in a slipcase with a magnifying glass and a new user's guide which explains the conventions of the OED.
From the reviews of the Second Edition of The Oxford English Dictionary:"The gigantic total picture of the English language..an epic achievement." Anthony Burgess, Observer
A stupendous achievement. * William Golding, Evening Standard *
The greatest reference book ever written. * Stephen Jay Gould, Nature *
A national treasure. * New Statesman & Society *
