Ok but tatty
Great basic edition but mine arrived looking tatty. Also you should be aware that these are published and updated frequently: mine was a few years out of date but still very good. Don’t expect any depths of the English language to be revealed but a good functional dictionary

A worthwhile, well made reference book.
A well made, soft backed reference dictionary which will last for much use over many years. The Oxford dictionaries have a worldwide reputation for excellence, and this size is the perfect chair side reference book for puzzles, crosswords and checking the meanings of words when reading. Sold at an attractive price and delivered very quickly. Highly recommended book.

Almost Perfect
Loved absolutely everything about this except for the last few pages being folded at the edges. That ruined the pristine nature of a freshly bought book. There was also some slight damage to the cover but that doesn't impact what resides between the front and back

ok but...
my ten-year-old daughter noticed that she was not up to date, seeing her as the prime minister to indicate Cameron's name and not Mrs May, we will see what other mistakes she will find
