New hardcover book in new dust jacket-- book is still sealed in publisher's original, unopened shrink wrap; 1,825 pages; book features a thumb index along the side page edges for easy word location and a "satin" ribbon page marker; Ninth Edition. Like most good dictionaries; this one features a "detailed chart of word pronunciation and extensive appendices of foreign phrases, first names, scientific information, etc." In addition, this dictionary has more words and definitions than any other single-volume English dictionary; has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect modern usage, and is the "official reference dictionary for Scrabble". However, what sets this dictionary apart from the others is the quality of its definitions which are "full, clear, accurate and, on occasion, characteristically witty". This dictionary offers "unrivaled coverage of English vocabulary, ranging from rare and archaic words to the latest slang and technical terms... all with a new page design that makes it easier than ever to find the word you want." (Quoted material from dust jacket)
