English Editorial Review
The Concise Oxford English Dictionary 12th Edition is a nice update of an old standby. The layout is appealing, with contrasting ink print and options that were not available before. It is considered the 'Gold Standard of English Dictionaries' by many. However, some customers have found it to be a disappointment, as it is missing some words that can be found in online dictionaries. Additionally, the pronunciations are difficult to understand, and there are phrases listed as words, which some find strange. Overall, it is a valuable dictionary with good service and delivery.
