Disadvantages: --------

...is the ideal companion for anyone who wants a straightforward, informative and highly portable guide to the English language." (taken from the Introduction) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Inside the book ------------------------------------------------------------------- Opening the dictionary, the first thing I can see is "contents". Contents? In a dictionary? Not surprising, that it only contains three lines - Introduction Dictionary and Thesaurus Wordpower Guide - but maybe a book without contents is no proper book. Next comes the introduction to the book (does anybody ever read that?) and a short introduction into the structure of the dictionary and thesaurus entries. Those, who have never worked with a dictionary before, will find them useful, everybody else doesn't have to pay any... Read review
