About the Author
Since 1937. Merriam-Webster is America's foremost publisher of language-related reference works. The company publishes a diverse array of print and electronic products, including Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, Eleventh Edition America's best-selling desk dictionary and Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster can be considered the direct lexicographical heir of Noah Webster. In 1843, the company bought the rights to the 1841 edition of Webster's magnum opus, An American Dictionary of the English Language, Corrected and Enlarged. At the same time, they secured the rights to create revised editions of the work. Since that time, Merriam-Webster editors have carried forward Noah Webster's work, creating some of the most widely used and respected dictionaries and reference books in the world.

This, the latest edition of the M-W Dictionary, fits that requirement. The text is easy to read and there is even a nifty reference section at the back containing "foreign words & phrases, biographical names, and geographical names". I rate it at 3 stars because although the cover boasts "Over 75,000 definitions", words such as ontological and multivalent are not included. I highly recommend this dictionary for students at the high school level, but university students should keep searching.   18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: This is the one I always seem to reach for first.........., March 31, 2006 By  Brian Martin "foliowyrm" (From neither here nor there) - See all my reviews    I have a old hard cover Webster's collegiate dictionary that my parents gave me before I went to college sitting under my bed. I also have a huge 2 volume Oxford Shorter English dictionary gathering dust in my closet. I even have a unabridged Random House dictionary on the very computer I am writing this review on. I use all of the above occasionally, but the one I use the most is this little paperback dictionary that sits on my desk beside my bed. It usually has what I'm looking for and I rarely have to use one of the bigger dictionaries. The size is nice and it is light weignt so it is easy to carry around if you have to. If you need a small desk dictionary this is a good one.   13 of 13 people found the following review helpful: Great dictionary, March 2, 2006 By  Melanie "Amazon addict" (Reno,NV) - See all my reviews I bought this for my son who is in grade 5, he had the cheap dollar store one, he was fed up with not finding words he needed for his project, i thought ok its for college students, but he loves it,...loves showing me new words he has learned...Great buy.

Not a whole lot to say about a dictionary, but it's a handy size and fits the need. Published 14 days ago by joeyjhg2 Great for grade school I bought this for grade school children.

Published 3 months ago by K. Coleman Just Adequate Dictionary The type is too small, the quality of the print poor and the pages and cover are neither well nor consistently centered.

I have to tell you that it really lacked depth in my humble opinion. Read more Published 6 months ago by JoeyD Merium Webster Dictionary I was disapointed in the too fine print. Hard to read tho compact. Otherwise, OK I guess. Published 7 months ago by J. Turner Very handy little dictionary This dictionary has everything I wanted in a small, inexpensive dictionary.
