Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars This book is an insult to intelligent hard of seeing people   February 4, 1999
 63 out of 65 found this review helpful

This dictionary is a disappointment to people who have trouble reading normal print dictionaries. With half the number of entries of other dictionaries, no pronunciation key for entries, no etymology and extremely bare bones definitions, this dictionary is completely useless. I wish that the publishers would issue a large print dictionary in as many volumes as would be necessary to contain all the information of a standard print dictionary. My eyes are bad but my brain is fine.


4 out of 5 stars Good concise office reference   October 5, 1999
 12 out of 12 found this review helpful

For more entries, and bigger letters you would buy a tome sized dictionary. This dictionary is very nice for an office reference. It has enough word entries, and is small enough to serve that purpose.

5 out of 5 stars Handy dictionary for people with impaired vision.   October 27, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I like this dictionary because it is easy for me to read. It has 35,000 words including words newly adopted to today's society in America such as ICU, yahoo, yammer, yaws (a new disease) as well as unusual words. It also has a pronunciation key in the English sounds and non-English sounds.


5 out of 5 stars Large Print Dictionary is excellent!   November 11, 2008
This book arrived in a timely manner and was exactly as anticipated. The print was large enough for a visually impaired person to read without being too cumbersome to handle.
