What an excellent Dictionary for the price. I find it very easy to use and I find myself using it much more than I imagined I would.

As you can judge from reading my previous reviews, I was not the type of person that would spring to mind when advice was needed about punctuation and spelling. While still not perfect I have managed to change all that with this book! I'll resist the joke about how the zebra did it and finish off my review.....

Thanks Cambridge!

The dictionary was delivered in first class fashion and I have been improving my spellings with it since.

120,000 words sounds like a lot, but actually there are more words missing than present, comparing with the Concise OED (one volume brick) never mind the 2 volume "Shorter OED". What's there is fine, but many times you'll be looking for a word and it won't be there. Cheap as chips, but save your cash and get a better version (or these days, just look up on line).

I was a bit disappointed because I was looking for a dictionary to look up phonetic and meaning while reading books in English.
This dictionary is comprehensive, but it clusters several related terms with the main word and sometimes you can be confused. I don't like the "figurative" phonetic nomenclature nor the fact not all words have phonetic description (A word phonetic might be trivial for a native but not for a foreigner!). All in all, it is a good dictionary if you don't want to spend much money and you need a light and comprehensive dictionary.
