Book Description
Publication Date: 1971
In 1971 the Compact Oxford English Dictionary made publishing and printing history by ingeniously reducing the 13 volumes of the OED to two, without losing one word of the original. Newsweek hailed the achievement `a brilliant success,` while the New York Times declared that the Compact was `something of a miracle... easier to work with than the original... an extraordinary bargain.` Since then it has sold over 330,000 copies in the United States alone.
* The Oxford English Dictionary is an unrivalled guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words * The Dictionary traces the evolution of over 600,000 words from across the English-speaking world through 2.4 million quotations * Historical in focus, each of the OED`s entries contain the word`s earliest known use, as well as later examples which help plot the word`s subsequent development in English * Its quotations are taken from a broad range of English language sources - from classic literature and specialist periodicals to film scripts and cookery books * Elegantly designed for maximum legibility and printed to the highest standards on the finest quality paper
