Perfect
The size of the dictionary makes it so easy to use it. I’m a woman with average size hands. Also appreciate the concision of definitions.

Hands down THE BEST investment for learning!
Oxford dictionary is the first book my dad bought me and it’s been my best knowledge companion throughout my school days. Thought I’d return the favor and bought this for my 5 year old daughter and she just loves it! She’s starting to learn the words only now but shows great interest in finding the words in the dictionary even if it’s just a three lettered sight word. Personally, I cannot imagine finishing the academic years without Oxford English Dictionary.

Not enough words
Big plus is excellent binding and pages sewn in signatures—rare nowadays. However this dictionary is inadequate if you read adult non-fiction on serious subjects. It is probably great for middle schoolers and high schoolers. When I see my 13 year old grandson next I’ll give it to him but I find it useless for my reading. Not enough words. Just need a bigger dictionary!

Great for Scrabble players!
We use it for reference when playing a family game of Scrabble. It has an impressive range of modern vocabulary and alternate word uses.

stafisfait du produit et de la livraison.
Reçu en temps et en heure, en très bon état. Petit bémol, pas de film de protection. Dictionnaire bien construit, définitions compréhensibles. C'est mon 3ème dictionnaire Oxford, pour les mises à jour des mots et de la longue. Bien pour un usage régulier, en version compacte. La version plus complète existe également, mais dans un format plus grand, pour une utilisation fixe (à domicile). Le format de celui-ci est très pratique pour être emmené partout, y compris en examens.

ソフトカバーでもいいんじゃないでしょうか
9版を永く使っていたが、10数年たったので、今回の11版を購入した。 9版はソフトカバーであったが（他にもハードカバーがあったかどうかはわからない）、11版ではハードカバーになっている。 この大きさ（縦横は新書サイズだが、厚さが５ｃｍもある）で、ハードカバーというのは、ページをめくるのが、 ソフトカバーに比べて、少々やりにくいと思う。 11版では、IT関係の新しい用語（cloud computing, WiFi など）も出ているが、そんなに新しくない英文を読むときには9版で 十分なので、手になじんで、めくりやすい9版を使っている。 永く使っていると、本書がイギリス英語をメインに編集していることが目立ってくる（語義、語彙の選択、見出しの表記など）。 アメリカ英語に関して、本書の姉妹となる辞書（Pocket Oxford American Dictionary)の新しい版の出版が待たれる。 （Pocket Oxford American Dictionaryは初版が2002年、2版が2008年なので、そろそろ3版が出るのではと、2版を買うのを ひかえて待っています。）

Useful english dictionary.
I see this in the Oxford online dictionary. I don't always have internet and want to be away from any electricity equipment sometimes. Book is good in quality, and good size for my small hand bag, understandable explain of the English words.
