The Oxford illustrated dictionary / text ed. by J.… di J. Coulson
Ex-lib. UM UGL
It's great to have a Collins alongside as they compliment each other, but this is simply superb and the full 20-odd volume version is on my "when I win the lottery" shopping list.
Those who urge you to throw away your old dictionary and stick with the most modern are mad, mad, mad! This is the best dictionary I have so far and I am so delighted with it. I need a dictionary to look up words I don't know, and to give subtle shadings of words I do know. This dictionary does that far better than my 1975 and 2002 dictionaries (which admittedly are shorter editions), and gives words that have fallen out of the newest in favour of "trackpants" and the like.

However, it has marvelous things like explanations of emphatic "shall," and, being abridged, it does not require a magnifying glass to read the etymologies and first usages, which are the best part of any Oxford dictionary. It's also big enough to be used for a booster chair.
