This dictionary is HUGE! I bought it off the bargain rack when I use to work at Waldenbooks. It reminded me of the ones my father cherished when we were growing up. They were used to challenge less-than-adequate Scrabble foes. I keep not getting rid of this final large dictionary. Everyone tells me that with Google I really do not need it, but I resent that idea. It has pictures, origins, and everything. What if the electricity goes out? Then, I probably won't be looking up a word in the dictionary you say? You never know!
Despite all of that, I am letting it go and keeping a couple of the baby sized ones for now to ease the transition.
