A thoroughly revised edition of this concise dictionary for home, office and school use. Expanded and largely rewritten, the reference work contains many more words, phrases and definitions.
The Classic First Edition
The classic original edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, first published in 1911 in a beautifully reproduced facsimile edition with a new introductory essay by David Crystal.
Based on the Oxford English dictionary and its supplements.
This work contains sections on vocabulary, punctuation and "airs and graces" as well as contentious syntactical sections.
(The pocket Oxford dictionary has remained a favourite small dictionary since it was first compiled by the Fowler brothers over 50 years ago)
