Penguin English Dictionary by Robert Allen

Revised and updated, this dictionary is accessible yet authoritative. It offers clear, detailed definitions with particular emphasis on difficult meanings, and there are usage notes, explanations of key concepts and word histories. The entries cover technical and specialist vocabulary, slang and the most up-to-date jargon and buzzwords.
'In a comparison of Collins, Chambers and Penguin, the New Penguin English Dictionary comes out as the top recommendation' - TLS 'Refreshingly forward-looking and impressively comprehensive' - Amazonco.uk
The Dictionary has been compiled by a team of leading lexicographers, and edited by Robert Allen, former editor of the OXFORD CONCISE ENGLISH DICTIONARY.
