Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

Murray&lt;/b&gt; (Waterford, CT USA)&lt;br&gt;Having lived with the clutzy first issue of the 4th ed CD, requiring the CD to be mounted, I am delighted with this new version.  I am only disappointed that it does not link directly to my WordPerfect software.

It beats all the online dictionaries hands down.  I am the world's worst speller, but this program will find in fractions of a second the word that I am after.  I do a lot of technical writing with chemical and technical terms.  This system finds the words quickly.  The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.  Additionally, this Am Heritage will find the correct word for a guess that Microsoft completes gives up on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a must have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"A great crossover dictionary"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Geoff Puterbaugh&lt;/b&gt; (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

Murray&lt;/b&gt; (Waterford, CT USA)&lt;br&gt;Having lived with the clutzy first issue of the 4th ed CD, requiring the CD to be mounted, I am delighted with this new version.  I am only disappointed that it does not link directly to my WordPerfect software.

It beats all the online dictionaries hands down.  I am the world's worst speller, but this program will find in fractions of a second the word that I am after.  I do a lot of technical writing with chemical and technical terms.  This system finds the words quickly.  The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.  Additionally, this Am Heritage will find the correct word for a guess that Microsoft completes gives up on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a must have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"A great crossover dictionary"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Geoff Puterbaugh&lt;/b&gt; (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE!

And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing.

I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

It beats all the online dictionaries hands down.  I am the world's worst speller, but this program will find in fractions of a second the word that I am after.  I do a lot of technical writing with chemical and technical terms.  This system finds the words quickly.  The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.  Additionally, this Am Heritage will find the correct word for a guess that Microsoft completes gives up on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a must have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"A great crossover dictionary"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Geoff Puterbaugh&lt;/b&gt; (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

It beats all the online dictionaries hands down.  I am the world's worst speller, but this program will find in fractions of a second the word that I am after.

The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.  Additionally, this Am Heritage will find the correct word for a guess that Microsoft completes gives up on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a must have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"A great crossover dictionary"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Geoff Puterbaugh&lt;/b&gt; (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.  Additionally, this Am Heritage will find the correct word for a guess that Microsoft completes gives up on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a must have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"A great crossover dictionary"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Geoff Puterbaugh&lt;/b&gt; (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

It beats all the online dictionaries hands down.  I am the world's worst speller, but this program will find in fractions of a second the word that I am after.  I do a lot of technical writing with chemical and technical terms.  This system finds the words quickly.  The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.  Additionally, this Am Heritage will find the correct word for a guess that Microsoft completes gives up on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a must have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"A great crossover dictionary"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Geoff Puterbaugh&lt;/b&gt; (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

It beats all the online dictionaries hands down.  I am the world's worst speller, but this program will find in fractions of a second the word that I am after.

The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.

Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K.

Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often.

It has loads of illustrations and pictures.  I also bought the M-W 11th Collegiate as a companion.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

I got one for myself last summer, and have been thrilled with the quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last dictionary was 25-30 years ago, and this new book has pictures of many people who have starred in my lifetime as legendary in entertainment, science, and politics.  {as well as those from the past}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The descriptions are easy to follow and quite adequate for my purposes.

It beats all the online dictionaries hands down.  I am the world's worst speller, but this program will find in fractions of a second the word that I am after.  I do a lot of technical writing with chemical and technical terms.  This system finds the words quickly.  The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.  Additionally, this Am Heritage will find the correct word for a guess that Microsoft completes gives up on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a must have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"A great crossover dictionary"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Geoff Puterbaugh&lt;/b&gt; (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

It beats all the online dictionaries hands down.  I am the world's worst speller, but this program will find in fractions of a second the word that I am after.

The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.  Additionally, this Am Heritage will find the correct word for a guess that Microsoft completes gives up on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a must have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"A great crossover dictionary"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Geoff Puterbaugh&lt;/b&gt; (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K.

Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

Otherwise of dictionaries pleasant to read, useful, durable, and with extensive and useful etymologies [e.g. I became curious and developed a psychic intuition for old french, although I didn't take it in school]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Otherwise, creativity is the only way to really change the dictionary: a different organizational system would be more useful for some creative uses&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"time to update"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-07&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;A.

It beats all the online dictionaries hands down.  I am the world's worst speller, but this program will find in fractions of a second the word that I am after.

The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.  Additionally, this Am Heritage will find the correct word for a guess that Microsoft completes gives up on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a must have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"A great crossover dictionary"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Geoff Puterbaugh&lt;/b&gt; (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE!

And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing.

I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

I got one for myself last summer, and have been thrilled with the quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last dictionary was 25-30 years ago, and this new book has pictures of many people who have starred in my lifetime as legendary in entertainment, science, and politics.  {as well as those from the past}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The descriptions are easy to follow and quite adequate for my purposes. I highly recommend it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Images Product&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a target ='_blank' href='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RNVPC0hEL.jpg'&gt;&lt;img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RNVPC0hEL.jpg' width='240px' border='0' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701729"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2233243389252191344-4087944858035636277?l=telex-copier.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/feeds/4087944858035636277/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/2010/01/american-heritage-dictionary-of-english_20.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2233243389252191344/posts/default/4087944858035636277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2233243389252191344/posts/default/4087944858035636277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/2010/01/american-heritage-dictionary-of-english_20.html' title='The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition'/><author><name>tartahcky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233243389252191344.post-4604054369228079518</id><published>2010-01-19T21:10:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-19T21:10:44.406-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Deals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='american'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heritage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dictionary'/><title type='text'>The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Editon: Print a nd CD-ROM Edition (.)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Cheap  The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Editon: Print a nd CD-ROM Edition (.)  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701737"&gt;&lt;img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41C41B1HWBL.jpg' height='300'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701737"&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy  Low Price From Here Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;This newly updated edition of America’s favorite dictionary features revised biographical and geographical entries as well as up-to-date charts and tables for topics such as world currencies and chemical elements.

It beats all the online dictionaries hands down.  I am the world's worst speller, but this program will find in fractions of a second the word that I am after.  I do a lot of technical writing with chemical and technical terms.  This system finds the words quickly.  The spoken feature is also helpful for these unusual words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CD-ROM has hundreds of words that Microsoft does not include in their office products.  Additionally, this Am Heritage will find the correct word for a guess that Microsoft completes gives up on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a must have.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"A great crossover dictionary"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-11-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Geoff Puterbaugh&lt;/b&gt; (Chiang Mai, T. Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

I got one for myself last summer, and have been thrilled with the quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last dictionary was 25-30 years ago, and this new book has pictures of many people who have starred in my lifetime as legendary in entertainment, science, and politics.  {as well as those from the past}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The descriptions are easy to follow and quite adequate for my purposes. I highly recommend it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Images Product&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a target ='_blank' href='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RNVPC0hEL.jpg'&gt;&lt;img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RNVPC0hEL.jpg' width='240px' border='0' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701729"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2233243389252191344-3515987651691008449?l=telex-copier.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/feeds/3515987651691008449/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/2010/01/american-heritage-dictionary-of-english_7679.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2233243389252191344/posts/default/3515987651691008449'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2233243389252191344/posts/default/3515987651691008449'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/2010/01/american-heritage-dictionary-of-english_7679.html' title='The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition'/><author><name>tartahcky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233243389252191344.post-576512548554359021</id><published>2010-01-11T03:59:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-11T03:59:57.928-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Deals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='american'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heritage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dictionary'/><title type='text'>The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Editon: Print a nd CD-ROM Edition (.)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Cheap  The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Editon: Print a nd CD-ROM Edition (.)  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701737"&gt;&lt;img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41C41B1HWBL.jpg' height='300'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701737"&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy  Low Price From Here Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;This newly updated edition of America’s favorite dictionary features revised biographical and geographical entries as well as up-to-date charts and tables for topics such as world currencies and chemical elements.

Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

I got one for myself last summer, and have been thrilled with the quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last dictionary was 25-30 years ago, and this new book has pictures of many people who have starred in my lifetime as legendary in entertainment, science, and politics.  {as well as those from the past}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The descriptions are easy to follow and quite adequate for my purposes. I highly recommend it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Images Product&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a target ='_blank' href='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RNVPC0hEL.jpg'&gt;&lt;img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RNVPC0hEL.jpg' width='240px' border='0' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701729"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2233243389252191344-7289313557841449574?l=telex-copier.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/feeds/7289313557841449574/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/2009/12/american-heritage-dictionary-of-english_30.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2233243389252191344/posts/default/7289313557841449574'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2233243389252191344/posts/default/7289313557841449574'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/2009/12/american-heritage-dictionary-of-english_30.html' title='The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition'/><author><name>tartahcky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233243389252191344.post-6288903634363475663</id><published>2009-12-27T12:29:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-27T12:29:39.919-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Deals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='american'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heritage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dictionary'/><title type='text'>The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Editon: Print a nd CD-ROM Edition (.)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Cheap  The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Editon: Print a nd CD-ROM Edition (.)  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701737"&gt;&lt;img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41C41B1HWBL.jpg' height='300'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701737"&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy  Low Price From Here Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;This newly updated edition of America’s favorite dictionary features revised biographical and geographical entries as well as up-to-date charts and tables for topics such as world currencies and chemical elements.

Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"American Heritage Dictionary: 4th Edition"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-10-21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;K. Brandt&lt;/b&gt; (PA, USA)&lt;br&gt;Love it like I knew I would after comparing 6 different dictionaries in the book store. Wonderful color pictures; good-sized font; great word usage comparisons. Even though I do freelancing and use the Word Program's built-in spell checker, I love this book and use it often. I never used the enclosed CD; I simply don't feel safe about adding new things to my computer so I am sorry I chose the book and paid extra for the CD. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"Dictionary Rules"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-06-22&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;Leonard Shainheit&lt;/b&gt; (Suwanee, GA)&lt;br&gt;This dictionary is a handy desk reference that immediately helps with pronunciation and definition.

Miake&lt;/b&gt; (Brasília, DF-Brasília)&lt;br&gt;For 36 dollars I first thought it would be more like a pocket dictionary, but it's HUGE! The definitions are really handy, and it fits not only for english words, but for some foreign words, technical words, for example medical words, and also important people. And some of the difficult words to explain got also a picture or drawing. Very good quality paper, its harcover, and there's also a sof cover(which you see on picture) to protect the hardcover( a black one)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"As good as it gets ..."&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2009-03-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;David Lechner&lt;/b&gt; (Cherry Hill, New Jersey United States)&lt;br&gt;This is the third time I've bought the unabridged American Heritage Dictionary; I first picked up the 2nd edition at the recommendation of one of my grad school professors in 1976, bought the 3rd edition for my office a few years ago and picked this 4th edition up as a tool for my translation business. I wanted something with very current terminology in order to nail down recent words stemming from technology where I understood the German meaning from context but wanted to confirm that the English equivalent was as I suspected in spite of my unfamiliarity with the term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AHD is really a "desert island dictionary" -- the one to choose if you've got to pick the one you can't do without: not quite as bulky as the unabridged Webster but so large as to be all but comprehensive. In the past, there has been some criticism of the AHD's lack of prescriptiveness: that it doesn't identify a "right" usage and/or spelling but rather presents the alternatives with an explanation of what those alternatives entail so that the careful user is prepared to choose amongst them. For me, that's ultimately the best way to proceed ... the information that I need and want when consulting a dictionary. If I could, I'd give it more than five stars and this is the one I'll want my children to take with them when they go off to college.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px;    float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;	background-image: url(http://155auto.pookka.com/images/star.png);" &gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=rating&gt;"The dictionary I own, what follows is criticism:"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=reviewdate&gt;2008-12-12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;By &lt;b&gt;N.

I got one for myself last summer, and have been thrilled with the quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last dictionary was 25-30 years ago, and this new book has pictures of many people who have starred in my lifetime as legendary in entertainment, science, and politics.  {as well as those from the past}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The descriptions are easy to follow and quite adequate for my purposes. I highly recommend it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Images Product&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a target ='_blank' href='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RNVPC0hEL.jpg'&gt;&lt;img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RNVPC0hEL.jpg' width='240px' border='0' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701729"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2233243389252191344-4749030879459755754?l=telex-copier.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/feeds/4749030879459755754/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/2009/12/american-heritage-dictionary-of-english_18.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2233243389252191344/posts/default/4749030879459755754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2233243389252191344/posts/default/4749030879459755754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://telex-copier.blogspot.com/2009/12/american-heritage-dictionary-of-english_18.html' title='The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition'/><author><name>tartahcky</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233243389252191344.post-3504419509476579330</id><published>2009-12-17T12:49:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-17T12:49:34.388-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Deals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='american'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='heritage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dictionary'/><title type='text'>The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Editon: Print a nd CD-ROM Edition (.)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy Cheap  The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Editon: Print a nd CD-ROM Edition (.)  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701737"&gt;&lt;img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41C41B1HWBL.jpg' height='300'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/cheap.telex.copier-20/detail/0618701737"&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buy  Low Price From Here Now &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;This newly updated edition of America’s favorite dictionary features revised biographical and geographical entries as well as up-to-date charts and tables for topics such as world currencies and chemical elements.

Suthep, A. Muang Thailand)&lt;br&gt;What do I mean by a "crossover dictionary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I have noticed in recent months and years that the CD-ROMs included in dictionaries get an awful lot more use than the dictionaries themselves!  I first noticed this with a nifty Thai-English dictionary.  The CD version is so much easier to use that it's not even funny.  But I looked around my computer and realized that I was doing an awful lot of Google searches for English word definitions, and was not really happy with the results.  One example would be the word "flair."  I was curious about the word's derivation / etymology, since I was pretty sure there was a French word "flairer" which means "to smell or scent."  The on-line dictionaries were no help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have the American Heritage Dictionary on my computer, and it's a LOT more helpful.  It's also a lot easier to use than the paper edition, which does weigh 8.2 POUNDS!  :-)  Note that the CD includes a couple of small freebies (!) --- a big huge thesaurus, and the complete Indo-European dictionary.  The words all come with etymologies, and by gum there is that French verb "flairer," as I suspected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well worth looking at!!  Well worth buying!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One note: on my system, which has a lot of free space, the CD install took over 30 minutes.  I guess that this is the fault of some really dumb copy algorithm in the installer, but still --- be aware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://155auto.pookka.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom"  border="0" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #CCCCCC;	height: 13px;	width: 60px;	float: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="background-image: url(http:/
