"Authoritative resource"
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate is probably one of the best dictionaries available, no matter the language. It's definitions are at times elegantly phrased and it contains just about the right elements. However, for specific nomenclature (e.g. scientific terms), it would be best if American Heritage College could be used side by side for comparison to get a better understanding. I have been using Merriam-Webster's for 5 years now and it almost never failed me. But from what I gather from other's opinion it may not contain the more modern and fashionable terms in use as does American Heritage which seems to be more progressive and which has more modern phrasings in its definitions. On the technical side, the CD-ROM included is great, and I use the digital version of the dictionary frequently when I am reading in front of my computer and it has made looking up a word much more convenient. For the CD-ROM alone the price is well worth it. But if you want something more concise and less traditional (rigid and comprehensive) this dictionary is not for you. Then, you should try Oxford, Cambridge, or Collins.

"great product!"
Good deal!

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition (Red Kivar Binding with Jacket)

"Dictionary - Essential in the house"
This is a wonderful item for any household to have to increase knowledge and settle conflicts, if you know what I mean. My dictionary has been the final "word" when disagreements arise. This one is a good edition.

"Amazing"
This monstrosity of a dictionary weighs 3 lbs but for a good reason. It's the most comprehensive book I've ever seen, I haven't to date come across a word that hasn't been in it and the definitions are very articulate. The book even includes several pages explaining all the abbreviations and how to interpret the pronunciations. By far the best dictionary I've ever come across and worth it to someone looking for their first and last dictionary in this life time.

"Dictionary for my wife"
I purchased this dictionary for my wife and she loves it. I also purchasaed one for my mother-in-law. The book is used daily and has all the information in it that you would want.

What our customer's say!

"Very pleased", Based on reviews of others, I decided to order the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. My son in high school has been very pleased. We have discovered that a few of your more basic words are missing. (This is the only thing that stops me from rating it at 5 stars.) You may want to keep one of the 'cheap' dollar store versions as a back-up for these words. It is well worth the investment. You could easily spend just as much on 3 or 4 other dictionaries and still not get what you need.

"DICTIONARY", It works for me and it would be even greater if it was in a large print for those of us who need this feature.

"Merriam Websters Collegiate Dictionary", It pays to buy the 'real thing' and not paperbacks
and school district and college 'throw aways' whose
versions of the English langage were okay fifty years
ago but, not now? Amazon has it for more than a affordable
price and the finished product will last till you've forgotten
how to read?

"Not a large print dictionary", Although this is listed in Amazon as a "large print" dictionary, it's not. No knock on the dictionary, it's just not large print.

"complete, dependable solid reference source", I found this dictionary to be complete...dependable
I wish the print was larger, but it may be out in large print as well.

"The best basic reference book for families", Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (2003, updated 2007) is the latest in their series of desk dictionaries.

To my mind, as a user of Merriam-Webster products for over fifty years, I consider this the basic unit of reference books which every family should have in its home. In addition to its 165,000 entries are other brief features which many skip over, but help fill out the definitions: Where the words came from, how and when they entered our language, and their various meanings.

Thousands of biographical and geographical names are included, as well as idioms and phrases, with a full index in the back.

In an age when correct spelling seems to have become almost optional, a dictionary as complete and educational as this will go far to train young people and professionals how to treat their language, and themselves, with the respect they both deserve.

New editions will be published, of course, but this volume will retain its usefulness for many years. I highly recommend it for home, school and office use. Yes, digital is handy but standards will change; print remains, regardless.

"Must Own even in the Internet age!", Having a dictionary in the old fashion book version is still a must for all homes. It is handy and precise, especially Webster's brand.

"Amazon's usual excellent service and price", Ordering was a breeze, received the book quickly and without fuss, everything about this transaction was very good.

"Great buy", I bought this in hopes of improving my vocabulary. I keep it on my coffee table where it is handy. I didn't realize how often I came across words I didn't know. Sometimes when I go to look up a word, I find 2-3 others that are interesting or I don't know and I can just really browse through it for a while. I'm not that big of a nerd, I promise!

"Webster's Eleventh", Indispensable and necessary to keep up with modern usages and newly introduced words and ideas.
