1 out of 5 stars CONTENTS & EASE OF USE   February 14, 2000

I FOUND THE LARGE PRINT FEATURE EXCELLENT. THE CONTENT WAS TERRIBLE. THE FIRST 3 WORDS I LOOKED UP WERE NOT IN THE DICTIONARY. NO USE TO ME WHATSOEVER.


1 out of 5 stars OK for kids   December 9, 2003
This book is a large print dictionary and laid out very nicely but if you are an educated adult then dont buy this book! This is a small dictionary and most of the words in this book you probably would not need to look up. this was a total waste of money~ May be good to give to an elementary level child!

I am a college student who would mostly prefer large print to the standard normal font found in most books - including textbooks - and when I first looked inside this book, I found the print very easy for me to read. Thanks!
