What our customer's say!

"Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary", Delivery was excellent and on time. Only problem I have is that days after I purchased this 11th Edition, the 12th Editon comes out. Still a great book and worth the price.

"Indexing", The dictionary is a good one as usual. The index tabs are not exactly where they should be. Maybe they can not fix it because of limited space. Maybe Amazon can ask them.

"Dictionary ", We needed this for our 7th grader's reading class. It had to be this name brand and we decided to use the online option to buy it since it is cheaper than the stores were in our area.

"The Best on the Market", Nobody puts out a better dictionary than Merriam-Webster. The Collegiate is my pick because one of my hobbies is the Over-50 Spelling Bee, and this dictionary is the reference source for that competition. The Elementary edition is what I use in my classroom. The Unabridged is what I subscribe to on the Web. I wouldn't buy any other company's dictionary because this book and its publisher can trace their roots back to the original Noah Webster who first recognized the uniqueness of American English.

"great for students", This a great resource for students( or anyone else, but students will get the most out of it). My mom had the 8th version or so in about 1995. The CD is great to quickly look up words and you can incorporate it into word processing programs like microsoft word.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Outstanding reference volume", This is the only dictionary you will need as a writer of general publications. Other than that, buy the Webster's Unabridged and the Oxford English Dictionary if you are a real etymologist.

"Mostly good", I'm not sure how much this has changed from the previous edition, since it's hard to tell based on casual use, but this isn't quite as easy to use, because it doesn't have the indentations on the pages to allow you to easily find certain letters, the biographical section, the geographical section, etc. On the other hand, the laminated cover is nice, without the messy dust jacket that got tattered on the previous edition.

"Excellent Dictionary", Just what I needed for my desk at work. It's hard bound so it will handle a lot of use.

"surely you are joking", I ordered the item in your communication except with a CD included. The CD never showed up. You then sent a replacement with exactly the same result. After I called Amazon I was informed that you were out of the advertised item. I was then informed via email, to which no reply was allowed, twice, that I would be charged for the item and its replacement I can see that we will be having a battle royal with the credit card company as there is no way on God's green earth that I will pay anything for such absolutely lousy customer service.

"Great resource of advanced ESL learners", Since I am an international student studying in the United States, my perspective is slightly different from those of other reviewers. If you are studying for standardized tests such as SAT or GRE, this is the ultimate authority you should refer to whenever you feel unsure on the exact meaning of vocabularies you encounter in past administrated tests. If you practice on questions on analogy for awhile, for example, you would discover that the ETS (Educational Testing Services), the maker of GRE and SAT, also relies intensively, although not thoroughly, on Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary definitions to design their questions. Only by referring to the MW can you truly understand why certain answer choice is correct, while others are not.

As a bonus, you also have exclusive rights to send inquires on difficult words to MW resourceful editors, a service I find extremely helpful. Although responses are slow (because of, surprisingly, numerous projects in Merriam-Webster Corporation), you will generally receive the most authoritative answers from the brightest people on the planet. As an ESL learner, I am deeply obsessed with the flexibility, inherent logic, and beauty of English language; all introduced by this enlightening tome.
