(1991 edition) I bought this one nineteen years ago and have used it constantly since then. Amazing dictionary: and as if the brilliant coverage, lucid but never superficial descriptions and enlightening etymology wasn't enough (btw the etymology also helps me to remember the meanings of words), the binding of this 1700-page thing is practically indestructible. I've got an Italian dictionary in the same size, and after a year or two it was starting to fall apart – this one is reaching its second decade of merciless service and the only sign of wear are the black marks on the right edge after my first adolescent and by now middle-aged thumbs. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
