Pocket Oxford English Dictionary

Please it isn’t pocket sized lol like I thought it’s a full dictionary and really good!

This is not a tiny jeans pocket size dictionary, its about the size of a large novel and would only fit in a large coat pocket. If you need the tiny version, look for the Oxford mini dictionary.This is an ideal handy reference dictionary. The size is easy to hold without being cumbersome. The definitions are short and concise, and the coverage is good for day to day use. The print is a little small, but the print quality make it quite legible.Comparing this to the equivalent Collins dictionary (The Collins Essential English Dictionary) the Oxford Pocket Dictionary is fractionally smaller and contains fewer words, but is significantly better quality. The cover and binding of the Oxford are superior and the paper quality is far better. The Oxford is printed on good quality white paper, the Collins on low grade off white paper. Font size is similar in each, but easier to read in the Oxford due to the superior paper grade.

Like it

Does what it says on the cover with the exception of getting it in the average pocket, I personally didn't mind as it was for my granddaughter and she has a school bag.

Simple perfection, many thanks.

Thought I would update my diminutive OED with this version, but quickly found that it is nowhere near as good as my really old one. This new version is much bigger but contains much of the stuff I need for crosswords etc.

Great product quality service and excellent price will definitely recommend to friends and family

I ordered this for my 8 year grand daughter who is just starting to want to look up words that she doesn't know the meaning of. However I was very disappointed that what is called a ''pocket'' dictionary is actually full size! I wanted her to be able to carry it around with her in her school bag etc and now she leaves it on her bedroom table and it doesn't get used as much as I hoped. To me, a pocket dictionary is just that - something you can carry around in your pocket! Having said all that, the delivery was very fast and arrived when promised and it arrived in very good condition.

Much bigger than pocket size. But a good starter for the kids.

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.

Práctico para mi hija, buena calidad.

Nice dictionary.

I like the dictionary a lot, the size is perfect it's not small at all besides the paper is clean and shinyI would like to recommend it for all who need it to purchase
