There's something about an older dictionary... It has more archaic words... It has, perhaps, more personality... It enables you to better understand a previous generation... I swiped this from my parents and bought them a new, up-to-date one. They have no complaints and neither do I.

A Dictionary of the English Language, now printed as "an entirely new book" in the New Collegiate series sprung from the unabridged century-old Merriam-Webster. This is the gilt-edged scallop-cut "thin paper" 6th edition and is based on the 2d edition of the unabridged.

One of my favourite hard copy dictionaries. The other two I like are the Oxford, and a Webster's children's dictionary from the 80s.
